Struggling Hearts
1923 · Movie · 80 min. · Denmark
The story takes place during the Danish-Swedish war of 1657-1660. The narrow seas surrounding the Danish islands froze over in the harsh winter of 1657-58, and the Swedish King Karl X Gustav was able to march his armies across the ice to occupy most of the country. Plundering Swedish soldiers descend on the village of Gaabense on the island of Falster. Among them is Lasse Månsson, a Danish-born mercenary, feverish from a wound. Lasse is left in the village to recover; the Swedish king, whose life Lasse has saved during a battle, orders the tough and devious Corporal Printz to stay behind to ensure that the village is protected from further plundering.
