Overview

When Andreas arrives in the remote valley in the Austrian Alps, he is only about four years old - nobody knows for sure. He grows up to become a skilled farmhand and, as a young man, joins a work crew that builds one of the first mountain railroads, bringing light and noise to the valley along with electricity. He also finds the love of his life in Marie, but their happiness is short-lived. Only many years later, when Andreas embarks on his final journey, she is with him once again. And in amazement Andreas looks back at all the years that lie behind him.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sweeping, intimate portrait of a life lived in one remote place, watching time pass through seasons and epochs while the world slowly arrives at the mountains. It's a quiet meditation on love, loss, and what endures when everything changes.
