A relatively sophisticated - and lengthy - drama which sees Asta Nielsen and future husband Urban Gad building on the success of the previous year's Afgrunden. She's a circus performer desired by two well-to-do men, one of whom's attention she welcomes while the other she repels. The pace is glacial by modern-day standards, but it's a quality production from a brief period when the Danes were among cinema's foremost film-producing countries.
