Plot Synopsis
Entirely absorbing, deeply unsettling and immaculately crafted in black and white, Michael Haneke frames the rise of German fascism with a story that takes place in a northern German village before the outbreak of WW1. Over the course of one year, the God-fearing village seems to be plagued by a series of strange events. As the story unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that all are to blame. Sexual repression, religious conformity, rigorous discipline, patriarchy and scapegoating - are these the factors that nurture young people who would grow up to become willing citizens of the Third Reich?
