Synopsis
1862. A high altitude inn at the foot of a glacier in the Swiss Alps. Each winter the snow isolates the inn, rendering it totally inaccessible. This year, Gaspard, who has been coming from ages, is with a young novice, Ulrich. When he arrives, Ulrich meets Lise, the innkeepers daughter, and feels terribly attracted by her. When he decides to join her, he is too late: the snow fallen in abundance forbids the access to the valley. Ulrich is overcome. The next day, Gaspard, gone hunting, does not come back. The young man, haunted by his fears and his fantasies, will he survive?

Little Berlin, de Kate McMullen
Entre documentaire et fiction, ce film nous embarque aux côté de Peter, un taureau qui se retrouve séparé de ses 36 vaches lorsque le rideau de fer coupe en deux son petit village allemand.
Un film basé sur une histoire vraie, et raconté par le grand Christoph Waltz.
