A Breath Of Heaven

Erna, an attractive woman at the age of 41, decides to begin a new life after her father passes away. She leaves her noble family and takes on the position of schoolteacher in a village in the Alps. She soon hears of the deep conflict that has been raging for years between Eugenio and Baron. Avalanches have repeatedly struck the village from the slopes of the Montclav, which belong to the Baron's estate. However Baron is convinced that his slopes are well protected by the newly planted protective forest. Suddenly, at the beginning of January, the thermometers drop, the nights turn freezing cold and snow begins falling. And just as Eugenio predicted, the snow piles up into menacing towers. The snowflakes increase to the size of a child's hand, flying down from the heavens. The situation becomes more and more dramatic. No one can leave the valley. No one can come to help them. And Erna and Eugenio are also buried by an enormous avalanche, waiting to be rescued.
