Trailer
Synopsis
In a remote valley in Austria at the beginning of the 20th century, the hated farmer who treated his farmhands like a tyrant and was rude to neighbours is dead. Still, despite everything, and to the surprise of many, the childless farmer left all of his property to the farmhands, and not the Church, as was expected. As there is no boss and nobody has to obey anybody, conflicts begin, while the wealthy local farmers, who feel threatened by this subversive example, try to bring the farm down.
