Rautakylän vanha parooni

Rautakylän vanha parooni (1923) is the first directorial work of Karl (Carl) Fager, known as a stage director. Based on texts by Zacharias Topelius, the film is set in the manor house of Rautakylä, inhabited by the elderly Baron Magnus Drakenhjelm, on the shores of Lake Näsijärvi in the winter of 1838. Surprise guests arrive at the manor house and the story takes us back fifty years to the court of Gustav III in Stockholm.
