What happens
Die Alpensaga is a six-part Austrian television drama film by Peter Turrini and Wilhelm Pevny. It was filmed between 1976 and 1980 under the direction of Dieter Berner. A critical portrayal of the social structures in the countryside and the effects of the political crises in the first half of the 20th century in Upper Austria, it follows the Hubers, an Austrian farming family. Peer Raben composed the music for the series. Critically acclaimed, it has been compared by critics to Bertolucci's epic film 1900. A three-volume book edition of the series was published in 1980.
