action
The banker Brodin is ruined by his son Jack's gambling addiction. He then emigrates to Chicago. After Jack Brodin's wife has also left him and he is now finally ruined and has also killed in self-defense, he also goes to the USA to his father, who now lives with his daughter-in-law on a remote farm in the Wild West. After Jack has asked his father for forgiveness, it comes to reconciliation.
background
The film was the first production of the newly founded Projektions-AG »Union« (PAGU) Berlin. The buildings were designed by Professor Lütkemeyer. It has a length of four files at 1,600 meters. This corresponds to a film length of about 88 minutes. The censors checked the film on July 11, 1913. The Berlin police imposed a youth ban (No. 13.30), as did the Munich police (No. 9542, 9543, 9544, 9545).
The actors of the father (Emanuel Reicher) and the son (Ernst Reicher) were also father and son in real life.
A press screening took place in August 1913 at the UT Friedrichstrasse at the corner of Taubenstrasse in Berlin, and the world premiere in front of a paying audience on September 5, 1913 at the same location. The Bavarian premiere was on August 29, 1914 at the Lichtspiel-Theater in Weiden.
criticism
“The first Pagu film has now been launched. In the UT Friedrichstrasse at the corner of Taubenstrasse the representatives of the press and numerous guests were present to attend the premiere of the film "Heimat und Fremde" (author and director Joe May) and the associated film debut of three Berlin stage artists.
Emanuel Richter, the outstanding character actor, plays the role of the hard-tested father with enormous strength. He looks just as strong on the screen as he does on the stage, the whole sharpness of his characterization art comes into its own. Next to him is his son Ernst Richter from the New Theater in Frankfurt a. M., whom we already know as a film actor, bearer of the remorseful son. (...) Johanna Terwin from the Deutsches Theater embodies, as a charming adopted daughter and wife of the son, a real female figure who comes into its own in brisk, expressive play. Friedrich Kühne from the Deutsches Theater performs the role of an old usurer in a powerfully vivid manner; the humorous form of his characterization triggers salmon volleys. Even if the whole plot of the play has to be described as a little fantastic, it is extraordinarily exciting, indeed individual scenes are downright shocking. It should be particularly emphasized that “Home and Foreign” is a photographic masterpiece; Seldom does a film show such sharp, three-dimensional images down to the smallest detail.
The film exerts such a strong attraction on the Berlin audience that the UT in Friedrichstrasse with its 850 seats is sold out every day and the box office had to be temporarily closed due to the crowd. "
