In the beginning of the 19th century, Johannes Elias Alder is born in a small village in the Austrian mountains.

    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.

    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
