The Abyss
Directed by Urban Gad
Produced by Kosmorama
A melancholic early silent drama about a woman's romantic choices and their tragic consequences, exploring the tension between safety and passion.
Magda, a piano teacher, meets Knud, a parson’s son, who invites her to spend the summer at his parents’ parsonage. When a travelling circus stops in the village, Magda leaves the meek Knud for the dashing circus rider Rudolf. But circus life with Rudolf quickly turns out to be anything but happy, and Magda comes to a tragic end.
