A Whole Life, based on the bestselling novel by Robert Seethaler, follows Andreas Egger, a humble labourer who, in his twilight years, reflects on his life spent in his isolated home-valley. As he navigates through the joys and hardships of life, the film captures the profound transformation of his serene farming community.
Set against the breath-taking backdrop of the Austrian Alps, the film explores themes of nature, progress, and the emotional costs of change, through stunning cinematography. It not only depicts a realistic portrayal of Egger’s personal journey but the broader impact of societal shifts, as the world undergoes radical changes, brought on by industrialization and modernization in the early 20th century.
Cast: Stefan Gorski, August Zirner, Ivan Gustafik
