Alpine Fire

Set against the backdrop of an Alpine farm, Alpine Fire delves into the lives of an older couple and their two children, Belli and Franzi. Belli aspires to be a teacher while Franzi, who is deaf, navigates the challenges of his environment with child-like innocence despite being physically capable of hard work.

Frustration leads Franzi to act out, resulting in his banishment to the outskirts of the farm where he engages in traditional activities. As the seasons change, so do the dynamics between the siblings, culminating in a controversial relationship that leads to unexpected consequences. The film addresses themes of intimacy and familial bonds in a strikingly raw manner.

For collectors, Alpine Fire is available on VHS, making it a notable entry for those interested in unique drama narratives from the mid-80s. The film's exploration of sensitive topics and its distinctive setting contribute to its significance in the genre.
