Careful background

Careful

In a 19th century mountain village, simmering desires and forbidden passions threaten to unleash a deadly avalanche of love triangles, where one wrong move could have devastating consequences.

In the 1800s, the villagers of Tolzbad live in fear of triggering avalanches, their quiet conversations and cautious movements a reflection of the repressed emotions that simmer beneath the surface. Two parallel stories unfold, each a tale of forbidden love: Johann, a butler, harbors a secret passion for his mother, while Klara is torn between her attraction to her father and his own desires for her sister. As tensions rise, duels and tragic plunges become a deadly reality, all set against the backdrop of a beautifully crafted, early German silent film, complete with intertitles, crackly sound effects, and stunning hand-tinted color.
