What happens

The Heath is Green (German: Grün ist die Heide) is a 1972 German drama film directed by Harald Reinl and starring Roy Black, Monika Lundi and Peter Millowitsch. It is not a remake of the 1951 film The Heath Is Green, but is also based on the motifes by Hermann Löns. Some of his poems were turned into songs in this movie. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
