- Dad, listen to me for once. Back there are children who are singing.

Melanie, what is it?

Back there are children who are singing.

But I couldn't see them.

Where?

In the back of the church.

There is some water hole.

Then go back there again and sing with them.

At that time they believed

wealth comes from above.

- Come with me, come!

- Today they know better.

Not now. Later, ok?

The wealth comes from the tourists.

The chapels of today are the cable cars

and chairlifts. That's how it goes.

Yeah yeah.

When do we leave again?

I want to leave.

We can still go further up there.

Five more minutes, please.

Yes, meanwhile you could tidy up.

But then we go futher up the mountain.

You might.

We can be glad if we make it

back to the car before dark.

But it's not there!

I'm sure we didn't forget anything higher up.

We looked extra carefully.

It's in the backpack.

But it's not there!

Then I don't know either.

Melanie, start thinking.

Haven't you seen the map somewhere.

What the f***ing hell.

What's going on today?

You did look at the trail before,

can't you remember it anymore?

Do you think I memorized

the whole map, or what?

- It all looks the same.

- Can you...?

Wait a minute...

F***ing mountains.

What the heck. We just go

this way straight along.

If we don't come out exactly at the

car, then we just take a taxi.

You're funny.

Why is it so red?

It suffers.

Come on, Melanie.

- I know that we are wrong.

- Wait it out.

Rolf, it's going uphill. We

need to go down, not up.

It will go down again. We

are staying on this track.

Please let's turn around.

You and your sense of direction.

Let's go back to the chapel.

From there we could...

Please, gladly, if you show me the way.

I can't go on.

...can't continue with this foot.

And standing at the fair

the whole day tomorrow...

I probably won't be able

to fit in my normal shoes.

Stay please. I'll check out

how it looks over there.

I knew this would happen.

What's this? What are you singing?

Melanie, I asked you what song this is.

Why am I on this world?

What?

Why are you thinking about that?

Because... because we

wished for you, you fool.

Come here.

Your father and I were thinking that maybe

it would be nice if we had a girl like you.

Well,

do you know where we are?

Over there is this glacier.

This... this white mountain.

Where you always wanted to go.

Where? Where?

Back there?

Yeah yeah.

Melanie stay here!

We are completly wrong, I

don't understand that.

Rolf, I can't go on.

There is a, a mountain hut further up.

Melanie stay here!

It's steep and dangerous over there!

A hut?

Do you want to stay overnight

or what are you thinking?

Yes, of course.

Or do you want to continue walking?

You really want us to stay over night?

Up here?

Yes, do you have a better suggestion?

No.

I know that this is not your fault.

But it isn't mine either.

I think all this is a bit ridiculous.

That's all.

Moreover, I am at the fair

tomorrow morning, as you know.

Well, you can forget this job.

I've already forgotten the job.

But not the money.

Is there really someone up

there watching over us?

How do you mean?

Well, some God who... who is

there for us and helps us.

If we don't find home for example.

Yes, maybe there is.

But no one knows what he looks like.

And I also think most

don't know what he wants.

And how do you realize that you saw him?

I can't imagine that you can see him.

What was that outside?

Don't know. Avalanches?

Why don't you go look?

That's not possible.

Why not?

Because I'm not wearing shoes.

Move your knee.

I will fall asleep now and wake up at home.

You know that Melanie has really

scared me a few times today?

Sometimes I thought she really

is familiar with this place.

In the ravine?

Yes.

And later, when she always

wanted to go ahead.

That's a coincidence.

What if I became pregnant by you

on this mountain back then?

There have been many more

opportunities after.

Right.

That was in June.

The date would be about right.

Melanie! Melanie!

Melanie!

Look!

Where?

Yes, over there, next to the hole in the ice.

Melanie!

Melanie!

You can't just run away.

- What are you doing?

- I found something.

What is it? Give me your hand. Come over!

Here, hold her tight.

Why? I want to see something too.

Melanie come.

I found her.

- What's the matter with you?

- Why mustn't I see anything?

What's with you?

You saw her before, too.

You are mean.

Melanie, you have to be

quiet now and don't move.

Do you understand?

Rita.

No.

No.

That,

that's impossible.

Fine with me.

Sure you can go to the police.

But for us there's no police.

In our village nothing goes missing.

We don't need their kind.

Yes whom...

whom do I contact then?

But I have to report that to somebody.

To the mountain rescue team.

How old is she...

she who lies up there?

I'm not exactly sure.

Like your daughter?

Listen to me. Why don't you tell me

where I can find this mountain rescue?

Down in the village in the lift station.

Whether they open for you in

the dead of night, I can't say.

Do you want the room now?

Thank you. But I think

we drive straight home.

Good. I will go down to the village then.

Will you stay here so long?

That's a really nice sweater.

It should fit.

Thank you.

It's really very very beautiful.

Thank you it's ok.

What are you doing here?

I woke up.

This is mine.

Michaela.

This is Melanie.

She and her parents got lost this night.

There's skin in there.

It may take hours until we find the place.

Shall we leave the corpse up there?

No.

But I would have other things to do as well.

So do we!

I don't.

But I do.

Where... where do dead children go?

What?

The... the children we have seen...

where do they live?

Look, your father and I are not sure

whether we have really seen the children.

Perhaps we imagined all that.

But I saw them.

They were singing.

I did too.

Perhaps they live deep in the

mountain or in the old hollow tree.

And what do they eat?

I think it's best to let the children be

children and not talk about it anymore.

Look, over there are cows.

They have to wait until the train has passed.

I know that they are there.

He can't handle it.

Look at these shoes...

and the tights.

These are not tights.

You have had them in the past, because

of the snow in the shoes.

You wouldn't know.

Yes, yes, when trapped by the mountain,

you won't escape for quite some time.

She has been lying in the

ice for a long time.

She comes from further up.

And here they come out.

Cover her completely!

Where is he going now?

Hello! Hello! We are done.

Are you coming with us or should we

pick you up again here in 60 years?

Please stop!

What is it this time?

Nothing.

Can we drive on?

Yes, yes,

go on.

Thank you.

Clutch, and don't accelerate so much.

He will never lern.

Shall I help you?

Kiss my ass.

I'm getting out.

I want to look at something.

I'll follow on foot then.
