Originally titled Forseglade Loppar, this Gustav Molander production was based on a story by Guy de Maupausant. The story details several years in the life of convent-bred Mona Martenson, culminating in romance with handsome Louis Lorch. Alas, Lorch is already married, and when Martenson finds out, she returns to the convent in disgrace. On the verge of shutting herself off from the world and taking her vows as a nun, the heroine once again crosses the path of Lorch, who is now free to marry her. Although the film was Swedish through and through, American critics commented on the "Russian" techniques applied to the story by Molander (who would certainly have been surprised to discover that he was doing anything other than his "usual"). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
