The Silent Mountain
I remember that
day as if it was yesterday.
It was a peaceful spring...
here in the south of our empire.
was already raging
for almost a year now...
hundreds of miles away
in the east.
But people were
even in our mountains.
That's when I had this dream.
Every night... the same dream.
I was on top of our mountain...
opposite an Italian soldier,
a wolch.
Suddenly, the wolch ran at me...
as I pull out my rifle.
Back then, I wasn't
baffled by the dream.
I couldn't wait to join the war
and finally get away from home,
fight for our country...
against the traitors.
But then, the soldier
caught up again.
He was still alive.
Now, it was on me
to finish him up.
But when I touched the trigger,
I saw that he wasn't
carrying a rifle.
Take it in your hand.
It's your fault.
No, it's not.
Is the fuse out, Ander?
Uh-uh-uh. It's a dud, right?
It's a dud?
Lechner, you moron.
What did I do?
You let it get wet.
Oh! Hey, leave him alone.
It didn't get wet.
Ah!
Whoa!
Help! Lechner can't swim.
Help!
Come on!
Thank you.
Ander?
Ander!
Ander.
Have you lost your mind, huh?
Leaving mass... your sister's
getting married. To a wolch!
I don't want anything
to do with wolch!
Wolch? Italians are our family.
Not mine.
The folks in our village
were outraged
my sister Lisl to a wolch.
Most of us hated the Italians,
but now everybody
was celebrating together
as if they were best friends,
just like my father predicted.
One more stunt like this today,
and I'm gonna let you have it.
Your father will calm down soon.
I had never seen
my sister Lisl so happy,
there with her new husband,
Angelo Calzolari.
When I was four years old,
It was an instant success.
People came from all parts
of the world,
but I hardly ever
saw my father again.
The more foreigners,
the more reputation
and prestige for my father.
Now, it was time for my father's
the first mountain
tramway in our valley.
And how convenient
that Lisl's new husband Angelo
was the engineer he needed
to compliment his dream.
We did it, Angelo.
Your father has big plans.
Want some?
I knew that my
teacher was secretly in love
with my sister Lisl,
and it didn't make things easier
that her husband was Italian.
He hated them more than anyone.
But your time will come.
You will see, Ander.
Times are changing.
I can feel it.
And then, your father
will be proud of you.
He will see
what you are made of.
Hm?
I see you do fancy her.
She's stunning,
your new sister-in-law.
She's a wolch.
My grandfather was also
Italian, from Piedmont.
Blimey, so you care
less of me now?
Mm-hmm, not enough at all.
Mm.
May I cut in?
So you do like the wolch, huh?
Mm.
Francesca.
Excuse me.
Are you all right?
No... no... no partire?
Si.
No partire.
No... you are...
no partire, you... you...
you don't want to leave?
Si.
No go.
No partire.
Well, um...
then, no partire.
Then... then... then, don't leave.
Ander?
They are looking for you.
For the family picture.
Ander!
What are you waiting for?
And now, quiet, please.
Silencio.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Attenzione!
Don't move!
The Italians
declared war on Austria.
War,
right here in our mountains.
The news instantly turned
our two families...
into enemies.
We are cleaning up now.
No, another half an hour...
half an hour.
Here, here! Follow me.
Quickly!
You have to hurry up now.
Angelo, take care of yourself.
I'll see you very soon.
Francesca's in the last car,
