A man and a herd of reindeer.

Sinekatalog’s take

Mauritz Stiller's silent drama follows a man and a herd of reindeer, in a tragic tale of ambition and nature. Einar Hanson is moving in a beautifully photographed film with fine northern landscapes, made before Stiller's rise with Garbo.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
