What happens

Satan Triumphant (Russian: Сатана ликующий, romanized: Satana likuyushchiy) is a 1917 silent film in Russian directed by Yakov Protazanov. The film has not survived in its entirety; the endings of both episodes are missing. Some of the film's inscriptions were lost. They were restored thanks to the help of Rolf Lindfors, the Curator of the Swedish Film Archives, who found the film's inscriptions in the Swedish Film Censorship Archive. It also became known that in 1919 the film was forbidden by the Swedish censorship to be shown in the country. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
