1902! What a truly marvelous production! Very touching, heart-breaking and ultimately heart-lifting and heart-breaking at the same time.  She goes to Heaven and will never suffer again, but how sad what prompted the angel's visit. Still, the story is a triumph, for it is the little girl's victory over death that leads to her eternal happiness in the presence of her Lord and Savior in whom she quite obviously believed.

The music score is very well synchronized to the film.

I find the story very disturbing, but I found myself watching it multiple times.
