Berg-Ejvind och hans hustru (1918).

The Outlaw and His Wife. Swedish silent film directed by Victor Sjöström, based on a play from 1911 by Jóhann Sigurjónsson. The cinematography is signed by Julius Jaenzon. The movie tells the story of Eyvind of the Hills, an 18th-century Icelandic outlaw. The film was groundbreaking for its portrayal of wild nature. It was shot in two sessions in the spring and late summer 1917, in Åre and Abisko in northern Sweden acting as the highlands of Iceland. Plot A stranger who calls himself Kári comes to a farm in the north country. He is hired as a laborer, and the widowed farm owner Halla becomes infatuated with him. The local bailiff, who wants to marry Halla, becomes jealous of Kári. Another man tells the bailiff that Kári is in fact a thief and fugitive named Eyvind. Kári at first denies being Eyvind and then defeats the bailiff in a wrestling contest as a measure of his sincerity. However, when Halla proposes marriage, he confesses the truth of what happened in his earlier impoverished life as Eyvind. When the bailiff returns with others to arrest Eyvind, he and Halla abandon the farm for the bare, cold highlands...
