A Whole Life
When Andreas arrives in the remote valley in the Austrian Alps, he is only about four years old - nobody knows for sure. He grows up to become a skilled farmhand and, as a young man, joins a work crew that builds one of the first mountain railroads, bringing light and noise to the valley along with electricity. He also finds the love of his life in Marie, but their happiness is short-lived. Only many years later, when Andreas embarks on his final journey, she is with him once again. And in amazement Andreas looks back at all the years that lie behind him.
This is a deeply contemplative journey through a life lived amidst the breathtaking, yet unforgiving, Austrian Alps. It's a poignant exploration of enduring love, quiet resilience, and the profound beauty found in the simple, isolated rhythms of existence, inviting a serene, melancholic reflection on time's relentless flow.
