Andreas lives his whole life in the Austrian Alps, where he arrives as a young boy taken in by a farming family.

When Marie dies in an avalanche, pregnant with their first child, Andreas' heart is broken. He leaves his valley just once more, to fight in WWII - where he is taken prisoner in the Caucasus - and returns to find that modernity has reached his remote haven...
