Synopsis:

The biologist von Kammacher (Olaf Fønns) leaves his home, after his wife is taken to a mental institution and his doctorate is rejected. In Berlin he meets the young dancer Ingigerd (Ida Orloff), with whom he leaves for New York. The ocean lines is shipwrecked, but von Kammacher and Ingigerd are among the few survivors. Based on the novel by Gerhart Hauptmann, Nordisk Film created this 'Titanic' film merely a year after the disaster. Danish film scholar Casper Tybjerg states that Hauptmann's novel proceeded the Titanic disaster by four weeks, nearly giving Hauptmann a status as prophet. Later the same year Hauptmann was awarded the Nobel prize in literature. For the DVD a high definition scan was made from a restored negative and tinting was recreated using an abbreviated version from The National Film Center in Japan.

One of the very first long feature films in film history is an amazing adaptation of Gerhart Hauptmann's novel and refers to the sinking of the 'Titanic'. For the visually stunning DVD release a new high definition scan was made from a restored negative, and tinting was recreated using an abbreviated version from The National Film Center in Japan. A video transfer of this version is added as well as an alternative ending for the Russian export and a fragment of an early Danish adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's play 'Liebelei'.
