Das große Jagen

Set in an eighteenth-century alpine market town, the narrative follows intertwined local lives as private grief, religious devotion and communal mistrust simmer behind closed doors. Close, atmospheric scenes introduce a converted physician haunted by past violence, an aging yet lively priest and a devout young woman, whose interactions expose class tensions, hypocrisy and uneasy solidarities. The work alternates intimate domestic drama with vivid winter landscapes and municipal detail, using episodic episodes to examine how fear, compassion and secrecy shape daily existence and local power relations.
