At the turn of the 20th century, the young orphan Andreas Egger arrives in a remote Tyrolean valley. He grows up on his uncle's farm, where he's exploited by mountain farmers and put to work as cheap labour. He experiences little love or affection, and so leaves the farm as a young adult. Andreas ends up working for a cable car construction company and leases a wooden hut in the mountains. One day he meets Marie and encounters his first ever taste of love. But can her love carry him for A Whole Life? Based on the eponymous best-selling novel by Robert Seethaler, director Hans Steinbichler uses magnificent imagery to tell the story of an eventful life: a clever reflection on how tourism has changed the mountain environment and a serene parable about what really matters in life. A moving life story and a testimony to this turbulent century. (Zurich Film Festival)
