Januarys Film: THE DARK VALLEY Directed by Andrea Prochaska Austria & Germany| 2014 | Drama | German Synopsis: Somewhere high in the Alps, a lone rider makes his way along a hidden path and reaches a small village, tucked away between the steep mountains. This stranger goes by the name of Greider; nobody knows where hes from and, met with blatant distrust, nobody wants him in the village. The sons of Old Brenner, the village patriarch who holds the entire community under his threatening, violent ways, would have chased him away if Greider hadnt given them a fistful of gold coins. Greider introduces himself as a photographer, and Brenners sons provide him with shelter for the winter at the house of widow Gader and her young daughter, Luzi. Soon to be married to her sweetheart, Lukas, Luzi is full of trepidation as the big day draws near because, in this valley, a wedding comes with a terrible tradition. And whoever opposes this tradition will be subjected to a merciless punishment. In the depths of winter, the village cut off by snowfall and barely a ray of sunlight reaching the valley, a tragic accident leads to the death of one of Brenners beloved sons. When another son is mysteriously killed, its clear this is not a coincidence: the time has come for Brenners family to pay, and Greider plans to settle a score long forgotten by everyone but him. facebook/events/789779444421872/, For more events in Whistler please visit: socialcollective.ca
