Winterstilte

Winterstilte

 A man lives in isolation with his wife and four daughters in the snow-covered Swiss mountains.

Catholicism and the belief in old legends permeate everyday life in their lonely mountain cabin.
 
 When the man dies in an accident, the women fall into a kind of hibernation and fantastic mythical characters come to life.
 
 Winter Silence seems to be a film out of time. But the mother and her nearly grown daughters create their very own presence by means of a strictly ritualized daily routine. (Berlin Film Festival)
