The Village Teacher – Silence and Storm
A teacher’s fateful year
It is the end of the First World War in Tannau. The village teacher, Antonie Weber, is highly valued and respected, the glue that holds this small mountain village together. Her peace is broken only by the new priest who seems intent on making her life difficult. And soon Sebastian, Antonie’s great, unrequited love, returns home from war unscathed.
But the tranquillity of Tannau life is suddenly ripped to shreds when the Munich November Revolution breaks out in 1918, dividing the village population into those loyal to the monarchy and those loyal to the revolutionaries. In these times of political upheaval, Antonie finally allows herself to fall properly for Sebastian. But is she prepared to sacrifice everything she has achieved so far for her love?
