Green Fields

Ulmer's soulful, open-air adaptation of Peretz Hirshbein's classic play heralded the Golden Age of Yiddish cinema. When an ascetic young scholar ventures into the countryside, searching for the city of 'true Jews,' he learns some unexpected lessons from the Jewish peasants who take him in as a tutor for their children.
