This comedy, shot in 1916 in Berlin, was the first ever feature film to treat the topic of Greenlandish culture. Greenland explorer Knud falls in love with Ivigtut, an Eskimo woman, whom he takes back to Europe with him. Here she behaves in a childish, "uncivilized" and strange manner: she eats with her hands, sleeps on the floor, smiles at strangers while refusing to shake their hands, and instead of kissing her lover, she presses her nose onto his. "The Greenland explorer Knud Rasmussen had actually brought a Greenlander, called Osarkrak, with him to Copenhagen, and similar stories ensued about this contact between cultures. Not only are the scenes comical, but the costumes are, too: a folkloristic perspective had long caught up with the topic of Otherness. The irony lay in bringing a contemporary audience to see through the construction and recognize the foreign Greenlandic woman as being the famous Asta Nielsen." (Susanne Regener)
