When Andreas arrives in the remote valley in the Austrian Alps, he is only about four years old - nobody knows for sure. He grows up to become a skilled farmhand and, as a young man, joins a work crew that builds one of the first mountain railroads, bringing light and noise to the valley along with electricity. He also finds the love of his life in Marie, but their happiness is short-lived. Only many years later, when Andreas embarks on his final journey, she is with him once again. And in amazement Andreas looks back at all the years that lie behind him.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
