The keeper of the light house, Ewert, lives at the coast with his wife and daughter, constantly thinking about the lost love of his past, Maria Marusjka. Worried about his daughter, about to be a woman, he makes the wrong decisions.

Fyrvokteren Ewert, tidligere sjømann, har slått seg ned på en øy og vokter Sørlandskysten. Han bor på fyrøya sammen med sin kone og datter. Hele tiden bærer han på et minne fra yngre dager om Maria Marusjka - en kvinne med varme og forståelse. Mens hans kone Maria langsomt begynner å miste sin ungdommelige skjønnhet, og hans datter for lengst har begynt å ferdes mer og mer på fastlandet, begynner han å fundere på hva som skjer med en tenåringsjente når skoledagene snart er over? Hva vil det bli til med de to halvgamle menneskene når datteren forsvinner? Etter et plutselig innfall leier han ut en hytte på øya til den 38 år gamle forfatteren Knut Strøm. Men alt går ikke slik Ewert hadde tenkt.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
