Story
The action takes place in a secluded alpine village located high in the mountains. A stranger arrives there, whom the locals are wary of. He is introduced by Grader, a photographer from America, and asks permission to spend the whole winter in their area. The Brenner family in the village — the six brothers and their father — agrees, as Grader offers to pay; besides, they don’t think that any danger could come from him. Everything that happens after shows how wrong they were [4] .
