Germany · 1935 · 35 mm · Black and White · 80' · o.v. German
The novel previously adapted by Sjöström is austerely filmed on location in the moorland of Northern Germany. An illegitimate servant and mother excluded from the community – ’the girl from the marsh croft’ – is confronted by prejudices. Sirk acknowledges the influence of Dreyer.
