    Where to Watch

A young woman, Junta, lives apart from her village and, for her solitude and strangeness, is considered to be a witch; when she comes to the village for one reason or another, the townsfolk chase her away. They feel that she may in some way be responsible for the deaths of several young men of the village, who have felt compelled, one by one, to climb the local mountain - and fall to their deaths - on nights when the moon is full.

Leni Riefenstahl (later to become Hitler's personal filmmaker) is thought to be a witch because only she can reach the top of a dangerous peak. When a love-struck artist follows her to the peak, he finds a crystal cave. The villagers below strip the cavern and when Riefenstahl sees what has happened she throws herself into a chasm. Beautiful photography doesn't overcome silly story.
