The fourth feature film shot on Agfacolor is a rich portrait of village life in 17th century Flanders. The partly open-hearted scenes aroused the anger of Propaganda Minister Goebbels. It was the first color film by Tobis, who started as a Dutch engineering company and ended up as a Nazi production company.
