"On the eve of World War I, the quiet order of a small protestant village in Northern Germany is disturbed by a series of mysterious and inexplicable accidents.

"Fiction. Drame social. En 1913, dans le nord de l'Allemagne, divers événements tragiques et actes criminels sèment le désarroi dans un petit village protestant. Un fil invisible tendu entre deux arbres provoque la chute à cheval du docteur. L'épouse d'un paysan, employée par le puissant baron, se tue en passant à travers un plancher de bois pourri; les conséquences de la vengeance du fils aîné de la défunte poussent son père au suicide. Le jeune fils du baron est retrouvé ligoté, portant des traces de coups. Le nouveau-né du régisseur tombe gravement malade, la fenêtre de sa chambre ayant été laissée ouverte en plein hiver. La grange de la ferme du baron est incendiée. Le fils trisomique de la sage-femme est à son tour kidnappé, ses yeux crevés. Entre-temps, la Première Guerre mondiale éclate, risquant de compromettre le mariage de l'instituteur du village et de l'ex-gouvernante des jumeaux du baron. Au fil de son enquête personnelle sur tous ces crimes, l'enseignant en vient à soupçonner la fille et le fils aînés du sévère pasteur. [(c) Médiafilm] [SDM].

"Drama set on the eve of the First World War in a small village in Northern Germany. The story is narrated by the local school teacher, and covers a series of disturbing 'accidents' and malicious attacks, with aspects of retribution at their root, that take place over the course of a year. In the process it uncovers the private lives and characters of various inhabitants and families of the village, from the local baron and steward, the strict Lutheran pastor and the doctor, to farm workers, and the undercurrents of fear, repression, resentment, hatred and brutality that simmer under a respectable surface in both old and young. [Film Index International]."
"In a north German village prior to the outbreak of World War I, strange events, accidents, and deaths are occurring. The village people are beside themselves with worry and can't figure out what to do. After the school teacher starts to unravel the mystery, he discovers that the children of the town may be guilty of the crimes and have formed a secret society that the local pastor's daughter appears to be the leader of."

Seltsame Unfälle passieren und nehmen nach und nach den Charakter ritueller Bestrafungen an. Wer steckt dahinter? - Rückschauend erinnert sich der Lehrer in einer chronikhaften Off-Erzählung an die gewaltsamen Vorkommnisse, deren Hintergründe nie geklärt werden. In konzentrierten Schwarz-Weiß-Bildern entwirft Michael Haneke mit großer erzählerischer Meisterschaft das Bild eines gespenstischen Mikrokosmos, der so sehr auf Abhängigkeit, Angst und Unterwerfung gebaut ist, dass der Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs wie ein Ventil erscheint. Ein visuell und inszenatorisch bestechendes Drama über die Genese einer autoritätshörigen Gesellschaft aus dem Geist preußisch-protestantischer Untugenden. - (DVD-Hülle / Kinotipp der katholischen Filmkritik)."
"Inexplicables acontecimientos perturban la tranquila vida de un pueblo protestante en el norte de Alemania en 1913, justo antes de la rimera Guerra Mundial. Un cable que provoca una terrible caída al médico del pueblo, un granero que se quema, alguien que aparece salvajemente torturado... ¿Quién está detrás de todo esto? Los niños y adolescentes del coro del colegio y de la iglesia dirigido por el maestro, sus familias, el barón, el administrador, el médico, la comadrona y los granjeros conforman una historia que reflexiona sobre los orígenes del fascismo en vísperas de la I Guerra Mundial."
""From July, 1913 to the outbreak of World War I, a series of incidents take place in a German village. A horse trips on a wire and throws the rider; a woman falls to her death through rotted planks; the local baron's son is hung upside down in a mill; parents slap and bully their children; a man is cruel to his long-suffering lover; another sexually abuses his daughter. People disappear. A callow teacher, who courts a nanny in the baron's household, narrates the story and tries to investigate the connections among these accidents and crimes. What is foreshadowed? Are the children holy innocents? God may be in His heaven, but all is not right with the world; the center cannot hold." IMDB."
