About this movie

Based on a true story, Haneke's first theatrical feature is a disturbing portrait of familial disintegration which he describes as a depiction of his native Austria's progressive emotional glaciation. Set over a three year period, it documents how the mundane day to day routines of a middle class family alienate them from the world and each other until, suddenly and shockingly, their lives self- destruct.
