Frau Anna-Liisa is in love with Herr Johannes to whom she is engaged. However, as the wedding day approaches, an unwelcome figure from Anna-Liisa’s past returns to her little village: Herr Mikko, her old boyfriend. Herr Mikko, with the help of his wicked mother, tells Frau Anna-Liisa that unless she marries him, he will reveal an awful secret she has hidden for years.
“Anna-Liisa” was directed in the silent year of 1922 by Herr Teuvo Puro together with Herr Jussi Snellman. It was the first Finnish feature to be sold abroad and was seen in countries like Norway, Sweden, France and even the United States.
The film is based on a play by Frau Minna Canth who was a very important Finnish writer and a champion of women’s rights, a pioneer and combative Nordic feminist, ja wohl! This is reflected in the powerful and impressive feminine portrait of Anna-Liisa, tormented but valiant and determined, a woman who will decide her own fate, threats and coercion aside. She is excellently played by the actress Frau Helmi Lindelöf.
The dramatic and intense story of the film is equal to other Nordic rural dramas of those early silent times, such as those directed by masters like Herr Victor Sjöström and Herr Mauritz Stiller. Like them Herr Puro invokes nature as part of the dramatic development of the story. A flashback shows Frau Anna-Liisa’s terrible deed which involves a hideous taboo that is still shocking nowadays. Still, there is atonement and Frau Anna-Liisa accepts responsibility for her past and consequently decides her future. Herr Puro brilliantly blends indoor sets which suggest the theater with the naturalism of the exterior scenes.
And now, if you'll allow me, I must temporarily take my leave because this German Count must confess an aristocratic trifle of the past to one of his Teutonic fat and rich heiresses.

Frau Anna-Liisa been in love with Herr Johannes which is engaged and getting married that very soon, but from the past appear in the village, which lives Frau Anna-Liisa, Mikko Herr, a former boyfriend of the above, with the intention She also married.
With the help of her wicked mother, Frau Herr threaten Mikko Anna-Liisa to reveal a terrible secret if it does not agree to marry him, a secret that was kept secret for years, a terrible fact that our heroine made as a much younger.
The film "Anna-Liisa" was directed at the silent year 1922 by Teuvo Puro Herr Herr together with Jussi Snellman, a film that was very successful silent in those old days, the first Finnish film with international exposure, exhibited in countries like Norway, Sweden, France and even Amerika.
The film is based on the important work of Finnish writer Minna Canth Frau, a woman deeply committed to the rights of women and then, a militant feminist and Fraulein, ja wohl!, Vindicating those social concerns in their literary .
And this is reflected in the film adaptation of Pure Herr, because the film is a powerful and impressive and female human picture, superbly played by actress Frau Helmi Lindelöf, a tormented but at the same time, brave and independent Fraulein, will she finally decides on its future despite receiving threats and coercion.
The drama and intensity of the story is comparable to other Nordic productions, silent rural dramas such as those addressed in those first-time directors like Herr Herr Victor Sjöström and Mauritz Stiller, with whom Herr Teuvo Puro shares the importance of natural settings in parallel with the dramatic development of the story.
In "Anna-Liisa", Herr Pure uses flashback to suggest the terrible act committed by Frau Anna-Liisa and in connection with this fact, a lyrical but disturbing dream sequence, in addition to daily images of the hard life of our heroine in a beautiful but at the same time oppressive environment in which it has committed the crime, a taboo even today and whose process of atonement is filmed by Herr Pure differently, using interior sets for theater that it trains the leaders openly express their emotions with a certain artifice and external scenarios to complement and combine in this way, the literary strength of the original work of Frau Canth with her powerful and moving film adaptation silent , keeping intact the determination displayed by the character of Frau Anna-Liisa, that is, a woman owns herself, the only accountable and for this reason, the only one who can take your past and, consequently, decide on their future.
And now, if I may, I have to leave because this count must confess Germanic past a trifle to one of his fat and rich Teutonic.
