Based on a novel of the Norwegian Nobel prize-winner, Knut Hamsun, this romantic psychological drama takes place during the last century and depicts a wealthy mysterious traveller, Johan Nagel (Hauer), who decides to make an extended stay in a small rural town. He becomes the immediate friend and protector of the town's much-abused midget (played wonderfully by David Rappaport), and is tormented by his feelings for two local women -- the beautiful yet spiteful and unattainable Dany Kielland (Sylvia Kristel) and the beautiful and innocent Martha Gude (Rita Tushingham). 　　译文(2): 根据挪威诺贝尔奖获得者克努特 · 哈姆森的小说改编，这部浪漫的心理剧发生在上个世纪，描绘了一个富有的神秘旅行者约翰 · 内格尔(豪尔饰) ，他决定在一个乡村小镇长期逗留。他成为了这个小镇上受虐待最多的侏儒(大卫 · 拉帕波特饰演)的直接朋友和保护者，同时也被他对两个当地女人的感情所折磨——美丽却又充满恶意和高不可攀的丹尼 · 基兰(西尔维娅 · 克里斯特尔饰)和美丽而天真的玛莎 · 古德(丽塔 · 图辛汉姆饰)。
