Add to a movie listJohan, also known as Troubled Waters or Rapids of Life, is a 1921 Swedish film directed by Mauritz Stiller, based on the 1911 novel Johan (Juha) by Juhani Aho. It tells the story of a young girl, married to an older farmer, who elopes with a handsome stranger, crossing dangerous rapids on a small boat in the process.
Synopsis
In a remote place of Sweden, men working on the digging of a canal to dry up a marsh are housed in the nearby farms. In one of them live Johan and his mother together with a young girl, Marit. One of the workers tries unsuccessfully to kiss her. Some time later, while Johan is out floating timber on the other side of the river, he falls and crushes his leg. He lights a fire that Marit sees from the house. She crosses the river on a rowing boat and carries him back home and takes care of him. On his sick-bed, he asks her to be his wife. She accepts it quite unresponsively. Johan's mother is determined to avoid what she sees as a misalliance. He reminds her how 18 years before they had found her on the side of the road next to her dying mother. The mother orders Marit to leave the house but Johan, seeing the scene from his sick-bed orders her to stay and eventually marries her against his mother's will.Actors

En 1914, la vie paisible de la ferme de Moreau est interrompue par la guerre. Son fils André rejoint l'armée, tandis qu'un camp de prisonniers de guerre est créé à la ferme, et sa fille Mona ne ressent que de la haine envers l'Allemagne. Arrivant au camp, les prisonniers allemands ont un regard approbateur avec Mona, mais l'aggravation des nouvelles de la guerre la maintient distante et hostile. Oscar Muller, prisonnier travaillant à la ferme, prouve alors par ses actions qu'il est un homme de bien. Alors que les liens entre Mona et Oscar se renforcent, la désapprobation du voisinage s'amplifie de même ; même avec la fin de la guerre, des conséquences tragiques semblent inévitables.
