1925 film
Fager er lien (Fair Is the Hillside) is a Norwegian romantic silent film from 1925 directed by Harry Ivarson[1][2] (his second feature film after his debut with Til sæters in 1924). Ivarson also wrote the screenplay.[2] The film belongs to the national romantic period of the 1920s. The title is a reference to the thirteenth-century Njáls saga.[1]
Before the film was released, six meters of footage showing dancing were edited out. The film is now considered lost.

Aase lives with her grandfather in a cabin on a hill. Life seems sad and poor to her. The best thing she knows is to sit at dusk and dream. Aase is fond of Kaare, who works on a large estate nearby. The estate owner, Fredrik-August Reventlow, is also interested in Aase and does not give up even though she has rejected his invitations. Fredrik-August arranges a party at the estate, and Aase is asked to serve at the party. She is attacked by the landlord and later gives birth to a child.
