A woman suddenly finds herself cut off from the rest of the world overnight by an invisible wall in the wilderness of the stunning Austrian Alps. It's as if the time has stopped outside the wall. Yet, the nature prevails: the birds chirp, the trees sway in the wind, the stream gently flows.... It's just her & her dog, Lynx, alone. She slowly accepts this nightmarish fact & starts a journal, cataloging her thoughts & activities in the back of an old calendar. She goes on long treks to map out the limits of her territories. She learns herself how to survive by hunting and growing crops. The seasons change, & she slowly begins to enjoy living in nature. Crippling loneliness is compensated only by Lynx & other animal friends. But her peace is not meant to last long. Contemplative, & strangely moving by the end, Die Wand doesn't come across only as some sort of a feminist parable on the modern world. The whole experience is much more than that. #diewand #JulianPölsler #austriancinema
