Mountain Blood (Bergblut)
(login to rate)
The scene is Tyrol during the Napoleonic Wars, 1806-1810. Following its defeat by Napoleon in 1805, Austria is forced to cede Tyrol to the Kingdom of Bavaria. Tyrol’s economic decline and its religious reforms under Bavarian rule lead to a growing conflict between the proud Tyrolean population and the Bavarian authorities. It’s the spring of 1809 and Katharina, a young wealthy Bavarian from Augsburg, is newly wed to Tyrolean woodworker Franz. When Franz accidentally kills a French soldier, the couple must retreat to Franz's homeland. She’s afforded no welcome there from his rough mountain-dwelling family. And soon Franz and his brothers are caught up in the spirit of revolution led by insurgent Andreas Hofer, who calls young Tyroleans to war against their oppressors. Now Katharina is left to fend for herself in a harsh community with unrelenting standards. Against all odds, the Tyroleans are victorious. But Katharina and the village priest know their revolutionary euphoria can’t last… MOUNTAIN BLOOD is a turbulent historical drama of passion and resistance, featuring the stark beauty of the wild Tyrolean Alps. (In Tyrolean and Bavarian German dialects with subtitles) –B.B.
