Gypsy Anne

Aasta Nielsen stars as Anne "Fante-Anne" in this 1920 Norwegian silent film directed by Rasmus Breistein, set against the backdrop of rural Norway's landscape and lifestyle. The story follows Anne, an orphan girl raised by the Storlein family, who becomes embroiled in a complicated web of love and betrayal. After her initial adoptive family abandons her, she sets fire to their farmhouse out of jealousy, leading to a dramatic chain of events that ultimately leads her to start anew with Jon Sandbakken, a young man she has previously known affectionately as "the cottager".
