"the Hermit", who was nominated for best picture in the horizon unit of the Venice Film Festival, landed in German theaters on October 12. The director's debut shows a picture of life on an Alpine farm far from the hustle and bustle of the city: fearing that her son would collapse due to loneliness in the mountains, the mother hid her father's death from her son Albert to prevent him from giving up his job and returning to the farm. However, when his mother finally asked for help and the truth came to light, Albert, who is now in love with a Hungarian guest worker, had to decide his future way of life. In an era when the development of science and technology is fully determined and rapidly changing our daily life, the yearning for nature and the desire to return to the past are also growing. The film is a powerful description of a world on the verge of disappearing in a completely unromantic way. (Xiao Yifu subtitle group)
