Overview

1975, Swiss Alps: In a remote mountain village, a beautiful and mysterious woman shows up. Only the village policeman takes care of the strange woman and tries to find out who she is. There are hints that she came from the Höhenalp Alp, where herdsmen do unthinkable things to get the company of women. Many dark truths are revealed that should better have remained hidden. A tragedy of lust, insanity and murder is brought to a seemlingly pure and perfect world. It is the beginning of a nightmare of religious insanity, hypocrisy, abuse and belief in demons, who destroys a young family and brings a whole village to destruction.

How It Feels

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

A slow-burning folk horror film that peels back the veneer of a remote Alpine village to expose the cruelty and madness lurking beneath its pious surface. It's a genuinely disturbing meditation on isolation, desperation, and the violent intersection of mythology and human depravity.
