In the remote Alpine village of Tolzbad at the turn of the century,
people talk quietly and restrain their movements lest avalanches come
and kill them. This atmosphere lends itself to repressed emotions -
shown through the parallel stories of butler student Johann lusting
after his mother (an old flame of the mysterious Count Knotkers) and
Klara's attraction to her father (who lusts after his other daughter),
leading to duels and suicidal plunges galore. All this is shot in the
style of an early German sound film, complete with intertitles,
deliberately crackly soundtrack and 'hand-tinted' colour effects.
