SYNOPSIS/PLOT

Some inexplicable events disturb the quiet life of a German village, just before World War I. A cable has been put up to trip the doctor riding his horse, a barn is set on fire, two children are abducted and tortured... The schoolteacher observes, investigates and little by little discovers the incredible truth.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Don't let anyone tell you too much about this spellbinder (...) a toxic blossom of images that burn into your memory. (...) This haunting film never pushes itself on you. (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"Haneke's trademark sociopolitical critique is now turned toward history, in a stunningly photographed and deliberately paced film. (...) It's a superb cinematic work and an appropriately serious one" (Peter Brunette: The Hollywood Reporter)
