Trailer for The Girl Down Loch Änzi.
Deep within a gorge in the Swiss mountains, a mysterious legend of an imprisoned girl casts a spell on the area’s inhabitants. For 12-year-old Laura, the legend is something of a quiet obsession. She spends her days feeling mostly isolated from her family and community of charcoal burners, documenting her everyday thoughts and feelings in her diary. The arrival of a young boy to her town shakes up her routine, as she finds a companion with whom to share her feelings and her curiosity about the secret that could be hidden in the chasm below. Part peculiar fairy tale, part coming-of-age portrait, The Girl Down Loch Änzi is a charmingly beautiful look at the stories we tell ourselves to find our place in the world, and the connections we seek to the people and the mysteries that surround us.
