What happens

F.P.1 antwortet nicht (transl. F.P.1 Doesn't Answer) is a 1932 German film directed by Karl Hartl. The film was based on the 1931 novel of the same name by Kurt Siodmak. The plot concerns a permanent air station in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Multilingual versions of the film were developed, with one film each in German, French, and English filmed separately and with different casts. The film was shot in 1932 and premiered in Berlin late that year with English- and French-language versions premiering the next year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
