Hunting is a divisive issue: It would seem that it has only insiders and ardent opponents. Which is why it is usually either romanticised or demonised as bloody and inhumane. For centuries, these opposing viewpoints have obscured the mysterious bond that connects the hunter with nature and that is broken every time a shot is fired. Following hunters through their grounds, “Wild im Gebirge” is a meditation on killing and on our relationship with nature – a film that does not want to explain, but rather tell the story of the hunt.
