Gooseland

In the artificial but charming backdrop of a Hollywood-imagined Holland, Gooseland follows the romantic tribulations of Alice, the spirited daughter of a local inn-keeper. Her life is upended by the arrival of a wealthy, somewhat oblivious tourist who begins to vie for her affections against a dedicated local suitor. What follows is a series of escalating comedic misunderstandings fueled by cultural friction, physical slapstick, and the meddling presence of the inn’s eccentric regulars. The film navigates the tension between rural tradition and the encroaching outside world, all while maintaining the frantic energy typical of late-silent era comedies. As the two men compete through increasingly desperate displays of bravado, Alice must decide whether her heart belongs to the comfort of home or the allure of the unknown.
