Pax Eterna 1917

• The Plot: The story follows a peace-loving prince and his dedicated followers who dream of maintaining an eternal global peace (pax aeterna). While they manage to preserve harmony within their own realm, their vision is shattered when a neighboring state suddenly declares war. The prince tragically dies of a broken heart, leaving his followers to struggle with whether global peace is merely a naive dream or something they can actively achieve. [1]
• Historical Context: Produced by Nordisk Films Kompagni, the movie was filmed and released right in the middle of World War I. Denmark remained neutral during the conflict, allowing its film industry to produce powerful, pacifist works that directly critiqued the devastating global warfare happening across Europe. [1, 2, 3]
• Legacy: The film is highly regarded for its striking, innovative imagery, including famous, macabre visual metaphors of war—such as an iconic shot of a skeletal warrior riding a horse. Modern viewers can stream the fully preserved, high-quality digital scan of the film for free via the Danish Film Institute's archive on Stumfilm.dk. [1, 2, 3]
