What happens

On the Heights (German: Auf der Höhe) is a 1916 Austrian silent drama film directed by Jacob Fleck and Luise Fleck and starring Liane Haid, Hermann Benke and Wilhelm Klitsch. The film adapts a play of the same name by Ludwig Ganghofer. The film, that is presumed lost (as only two films of the directors from their production during the 1910s have survived), was also co-produced by Luise and Jacob Fleck. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
