What happens

Eskimo is a Norwegian–Danish adventure and drama film from 1930 directed by George Schnéevoigt. It starred Mona Mårtenson, Paul Richter, and Henki Kolstad, for whom it was his film debut at age 14. Had it not been for the fact that Denmark was also involved in the production, Eskimo would have been considered the first feature-length Norwegian sound film (rather than Den store barnedåpen from 1931). The language in the film is Norwegian. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
