Märzengrund

Expectations for Elias are high. He is not only an outstanding student but also the son of one of the wealthiest farming families in the Zillertal. Yet the harder the 18-year-old tries to live up to the role laid out for him, the closer he comes to breaking under the pressure. Seeking refuge from the demands placed upon him, Elias retreats into the solitude of the mountains, where the vast wilderness confronts him with both freedom and isolation.

Following DIE BESTE ALLER WELTEN, director Adrian Goiginger returns with his long-awaited second feature film. MÄRZENGRUND is a beautifully crafted and superbly acted mountain drama based on a text by Felix Mitterer, combining breathtaking Alpine landscapes with an intimate story about identity, expectation, and the search for one's own path.
