In 1991, a melting glacier revealed the body of a man. At first, people assumed he was a hiker. But then scientists discovered that he’d been dead for over five thousand years. This is his story, the story of the stone age mummy known as Ötzi…
The Ötztal Alps, more than 5300 years ago. A Neolithic clan has settled near a creek. It is their leader Kelab’s responsibility to be the keeper of the group’s holy shrine Tineka. While Kelab is hunting, the settlement is attacked.
You know the saying “a tale as old as time”? Well, this is that tale.
The movie is a very interesting one. It’s brutal, raw, deeply realistic, just like us Europeans know how to make. It’s a beautiful insight into a world that existed five thousand years ago. This is not John Wick, it’s the story of a man who’s set for revenge and who has nothing else to lose. Beautifully made, written, filmed and acted, it opens a gateway into the past and it captures your attention for an hour and a half, while being a cinematic and visual treat. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.
Your soul became free.
PS: And if you don’t know about Ötzi, make sure to check the Wikipedia page.
