The Parson's Widow
Directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer
Produced by SF Studios
A farcical silent-era comedy built on absurd romantic entanglements, magical mishaps, and the clash between village tradition and personal desire.
A newly elected village parson is required to marry his predecessor's widow. However, he's already married, and the woman is old enough to be his grandmother.
