What happens

Fear (Italian: La Paura or German: Angst) is a 1954 German-Italian drama film directed by Roberto Rossellini and starring his wife, Ingrid Bergman. It is loosely based on Stefan Zweig 1925 novella Fear. Rossellini created it because he wanted to explore the reconstruction of Germany from both a material and moral standpoint ten years after making his previous German film Germany, Year Zero. The film is noirish with aspects reminiscent of Hitchcock and German Expressionism. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
