Tore takes over the rather run-down family farm. Full of youthful energy, he intends to turn it into a grand estate like Glom Farm on the other side of the river. At Glom Farm lives the beautiful Berit, with whom he falls in love, but her father has promised her to the wealthy Gjermund. When Berit’s wedding to Gjermund approaches, she runs away and seeks refuge with Tore and his parents. She falls gravely ill but recovers and receives her father’s permission to marry Tore. The jealous Gjermund, however, makes one last attempt to stop the wedding.
The film is directed by Carl Th. Dreyer – the most important director in Danish cinema. Internationally, Dreyer ranks among the greatest artists ever to work in the medium of film.
'The Bride of Glomdal' was filmed in the summer of 1925 under somewhat chaotic circumstances. Dreyer did not have an actual script and reportedly read the book adaptation on the train to Norway. Additionally, the filming had to be completed in a very short time, as all the actors needed to return to the theater after the summer break.
The film has Danish and English intertitles, and the musical score is composed and performed by Ronen Thalmay.
