Opiumsdrømmen

The film follows Hugo, an opium smoker, who grapples with jealousy towards his older brother Ernest. The tension escalates when Ernest announces his engagement to Henny at a costume ball, provoking Hugo's anger. His valet, who observes the turmoil, sees this as an opportunity to manipulate the situation for his own gain.

Banned in Denmark, Opiumsdrømmen found its audience in Finland. The film features a notable cast including Robert Schyberg, Frederik Jacobsen, and Alf Blütecher, among others. Its exploration of opium addiction and familial conflict offers a glimpse into early 20th-century cinema's engagement with social issues.
