Дочь генерала в отставке, Марта замужем за офицером, у них подрастает маленький сын... Но разразилась война. Муж погибает на фронте. Спустя годы Марта вторично выходит замуж и вновь за офицера. Снова война... Неужели всё повторится?.. Нет, на семью старого генерала выпадет гораздо больше страшных испытаний... Антивоенный характер фильма (премьера которого состоялась через две недели после начала Первой мировой) заявлен уже в названии, но авторам, среди которых и сценарист Карл Теодор Дрейер, удалось отойти от банального противопоставления радостей мирной жизни с ужасами войны. Никто не романтизирует войну, даже старый генерал с его ура-патриотизмом. Война здесь - как данность, никто не властен предотвратить её, даже друг генерала, военный министр. Масштабные батальные сцены меркнут на фоне впечатляющих картин последствий войны: тысячи раненых, беженцы, разрушения и, в довершение, эпидемия холеры. Во многом картина оказалась пророческой.

A fire breaks out on a boat and a couple of entertainers are told by the captain to try distract the passengers so not a panic breaks out while the crew tries to get control over the situation.

Of the films that Psilander made at Nordisk during the first two years it is the film Dødsspring til Hest fra Cirkuskuplen (The Great Circus Catastrophe), that is worth noting. Maybe not so much for Psilander's acting, but for the sensational, action-packed storylines that he was in. This film shows the other side of Psilander's fame: his daring. He was an excellent rider and looked fantastic in long riding boots and elegant riding jackets and this skill was exploited in his films.
