The Will

Viggo Larsen, Denmark, 1908

7 min.DK/Short fictionDramaSilent films

A man lies on his deathbed and shows his will to his carer. After his death, a grieving man and woman come in. The scene changes and we find ourselves on a beach in the company of two couples. They’re about up to fight on a cliff, and one of the men plummets to his death. Then the scene changes again to a living room with a sobbing woman.

The fragment consists of snippets from the original film. At the moment, it’s not possible to decipher how the sequence of events should be pieced together.
