Andreas Egger grew up in a remote Alpine village, not knowing what the world was like beyond the surrounding mountain range. Simple physical labor, love for a beautiful girl, a calm, measured life - all this turned out to be extremely fragile in the face of natural disasters and the Second World War. This is a gentle and beautiful story about the relationship between man and nature, about loneliness, about the onset of the modern world - and most importantly, about the everyday little things that make us who we are.
