The White Ribbon

Drama set in the months leading up to the First World War, when the residents of an idyllic, morally upright German village are shocked by a series of mysterious and vicious acts.

Award-winning film by Michael Haneke set on the eve of World War I. The quiet order of a small German village is disturbed by a series of mysterious and inexplicable accidents. To the mounting concern of the villagers, the events persist, becoming increasingly sinister and taking on the character of a perverse punishment ritual. But who is responsible?
