In a north German village prior to the outbreak of World War I, strange events, accidents, and deaths are occurring. The village citizens are beside themselves with worry and can't figure out what to do. After the school teacher starts to unravel the mystery, he discovers that the children of the town may be guilty of the crimes and have formed a secret society that the local pastor's daughter appears to lead. Includes featurette. "The film is visually masterful. "--Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "Haneke's vision is gripping. The craftsmanship, classically shaped narrative, and icy visual beauty cannot be denied."--Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune "...tense, provocative and unnerving..."--Los Angeles Times "Immaculately crafted in beautiful black-and-white and entirely absorbing"--Variety "You'll be knocked for a loop."--Rolling Stone
