The silence in the forest

Count Ettingen leads a lavish life in Munich alongside his attractive girlfriend, Baroness Prankha. To finance his expensive lifestyle, his steward resorts to exploiting the dangerous forest. To escape the urban nightlife and his unfaithful, money-hungry mistress, he travels incognito back to his homeland's woods and retreats to a hunting lodge in the mountains. There, he meets the lovely shepherdess Lore, who offers him a new perspective on life and his actions in the perilous forest - the reckless deforestation of the timber stock. Ettingen's logging threatens to cause entire mountain slopes to collapse. The Count and the mountain girl grow closer, much to the displeasure of the Baroness.
