A former teacher recounts his time working in a small German village just prior to the outbreak of the First World War, describing a strict, patriarchal society in which brutality and a fear of it kept everyone in their place, at least until a series of mysterious, violent incidents threatened to destroy the status quo, in Haneke’s disquieting allegorical examination of fear, repression, and violence.
