Wikipedia article
'Fager er lien' (Fair Is the Hillside) is a Norwegian romantic silent film from 1925 directed by Harry Ivarson (his second feature film after his debut with 'Til sters' in 1924). Ivarson also wrote the screenplay. The film belongs to the national romantic period of the 1920s. The title is a reference to the thirteenth-century 'Njls saga'.
Before the film was released, six meters of footage showing dancing were edited out. The film is now considered lost.
Plot
Aase lives with her grandfather in a cabin on a hill. Life seems sad and poor to her. The best thing she knows is to sit at dusk and dream. Aase is fond of Kaare, who works on a large estate nearby. The estate owner, Fredrik-August Reventlow, is also interested in Aase and does not give up even though she has rejected his invitations. Fredrik-August arranges a party at the estate, and Aase is asked to serve at the party. She is attacked by the landlord and later gives birth to a child.
