In the Alpine village of Tolzbad in the 1800s, the townsfolk talk quietly and restrain their movements lest they incur avalanches. This atmosphere lends itself to repressed emotions - shown through the parallel stories of butler student Johann lusting after his mother (an old flame of the mysterious Count Knotkers) and Klara's attraction to her father (who lusts after his other daughter), leading to duels and suicidal plunges galore. All this is shot in the style of an early German sonal film, complete with intertitles, crackly sound-track and 'hand-tinted' colour effects.- Written by Michael Brooke <[email protected]>“就在我们这边的黑山谷深处，那里有一棵老古树，一个人合抱不住的榆树中间是空的，像我是躲山狼，所以才爬了上去，没想到在中间竟然还有一个洞口，我就跳了下去，然后就在下面看到了一些东西。”
