What happens
The Whirlpool of Fate or The Girl of the Water (French: La Fille de l'eau) is a 1925 French silent drama film directed by Jean Renoir and starring Catherine Hessling as its heroine. All of the French copies of this film have been lost but English copies continue to exist with complete copies of the intertitles (albeit in English). The intertitles have been translated back into French so that modern viewers in France can still enjoy the film in a way that is as close as possible to the original as it originally screened.
