Written by Cinobo

Michael Haneke's magnum opus is a multidimensional study on the causes and birth of fascism, a film that travels into the past to highlight urgent and timelessly topical concerns about violence and all forms of terrorism, a pure and undisputed masterpiece.

Synopsis

Germany, just before the First World War. A series of unexplained events disrupt the daily social life of a Protestant village, centred on a group of young children.
