Cast

Reception

Tilman Krause of Die Welt criticised the film for not trusting the source material and adding a subplot about a troubled marriage, but wrote that the film is "not entirely a failure", praising how the simplified acting style suits the Christmas theme and how the snow is captured on film.[2] Cornelia Niedermeier of Der Standard was critical of the changes from the original story, writing that the film "has a lot to do with hollow pathos and images overloaded with clichés, but little to do with Adalbert Stifter".[3]
