Description
In 1944, Veit Kolbe, a young German soldier, finds himself in a small Austrian village below Drachenwand mountain. Recovering from injuries sustained fighting in Russia, he meets two young women who share his hope for a future beyond the war. As Veit navigates this fragile life, he encounters an array of characters, each with their own story to tell. There's the Brazilian who dreams of returning to Rio de Janeiro, the landlady who rallies her community, and Margarete, a teacher with whom Veit falls in love - though she doesn't return his affection. When Veit's wounds are healed, he receives orders for his next deployment. The military outlook for Germany and Austria is grim, and Veit's luck has finally run out. Arno Geiger's Hinterland is a powerful exploration of the human experience during wartime.
