Trailer & Synopsis
Winner of the 2009 Palme d'Or, The White Ribbon is an examination of the dry rot at the heart of authoritarian society and the cyclical nature of harm. The pastoral calm of a pre-war German farming town has been unsettled by a series of fires, animal deaths and unexplained injuries. The town leaders, clergy and the landowning Baron attempt to uncover the culprit but the "accidents" only become more severe and shocking. As paranoia grows the villagers cling to the foundations of their community—faith, discipline and the family— in an attempt to protect themselves and drive out the evil in their midst.
