MIRAKEL
Leopold Huber
Nine-year-old Andreas is brought up by his grandmother. When she dies he puts the little angel of mortality into his mouth and stops talking. His silence provokes the people around him. Without wanting to, he brings disorder into well-ordered village life. Andreas evades the demands made on him and builds his own world, made of snow. The only other person who gets access to it is the vagabond. Shot in the East Tyrolean Dolomites, this is both a magic and realistic portrayal of life in the wild world of the mountains.
