Eva Dahlbeck carries the dramatic weight of the Swedish Flickan Fran Fjellbyn. Set in Sweden's mountainous northern regions, the story concerns a group of villagers who are plagued with one misfortune after another. At long last, they decide to seek out a better life in America. This little-known effort might prove to be an excellent companion piece to Jan Troell's The Emigrants. The English-language translation of the film's title is Girl From the Mountain Village.
