The film takes you to Upper Austria in 1750 and gives women from rural backgrounds, the invisible and unheard of that time, a voice. For this, he has received 9 film awards so far and is Austria’s current contribution to the next international Oscar.
A carp pond reflects the gray sky. A deep, dark forest absorbs sunlight. An executed person is displayed on a hill. As proof. As a warning. An omen? The deeply religious and highly sensitive Agnes looks at the dead woman with compassion. Even with longing, because she feels a stranger in the world of her husband Wolf. An emotionally cold world full of work and expectations. Agnes withdraws more and more. Her inner prison is becoming ever narrower, her melancholy is becoming ever more overwhelming.
Cinema as a guests
Two institutions, whose extinction in rural regions has often been complained of, are more lively than ever under the motto CINEMA AS A GUEST and invite you on a cinematic culinary tour through the Upper Austrian foothills of the Alps from October to November. Taverns as well as cultural-gastronomic meeting places are transformed into inviting movie theaters that have more to offer than the obligatory popcorn bag. A diverse program of current Austrian and international auteur films is provided, among others, by Cultural Initiative 08/16 Gmunden. For the unique cinema experience, the traditional Wanderkino Steininger responsible from Linz.
