- Summary:
- The film was Fridrikh Ermler₂s last silent feature and last of four productively collaborations with Fiodor Nikitin. To prepare for his part as Filimonov, a soldier suffering from total amnesia due to shell shock from the Great War, Nikitin apparently disguised himself as a doctor's assistant in the Forel Psychiatric Clinic to study actual amnesia patients. Meanwhile, Ermler creates a profoundly realistic and moving portrait of a man whose memories begin to awaken.
