Film description
A stranger on a bicycle is roaming the empty countryside. He is trying to find a solitary house - his family inheritance. The locals are suspicious of each other and every stranger who enters their world. They ostracise anybody who defies their unwritten laws. This is what happens to a fifteen-year-old girl who is brutally murdered on that day. In this film, which he describes as being about the "psychology of sin", Janisch creates a frightening atmosphere, like a waking dream, in which he evokes feelings and images from diverse works, such as Bram Stoker’s "Dracula" and Stanley Kubrick’s "The Shining".
