00:00Every time he made a mistake, his uncle would severely punish him, although the physical pain
00:05was intense, he still gritted his teeth and endured it, because Andreas never cried,
00:10his uncle would strike even harder with the cane. During mealtime, his uncle never let him sit at
00:15the table Andreas had to hide in a corner of the kitchen, eating the special food given to him.
00:20After both his parents passed away, his uncle's four children constantly excluded and bullied him,
00:25the only one in the house who felt sorry for him was his grandmother. In her spare time,
00:30she would secretly teach him how to read, and this allowed Andreas to gain knowledge early on,
00:35even in an era where education was scarce. One day, Andreas overturned a cart while moving hay,
00:41and his uncle punished him again, but this time, the punishment shocked everyone his uncle actually
00:46broke Andreas's right leg. From that day on, Andreas was left with a lifelong disability.
00:51When his uncle heard the news, he showed no remorse at all and simply turned around and left without a
00:57word. His grandmother sat beside him, comforting him with a helpless sigh. Perhaps, like all pain in
01:03life, these wounds would slowly heal over time. Under both physical and emotional torment, Andreas
01:09endured silently until the age of 18. Now he was a handsome and strong young man, but the years of
01:14suffering still haunted him. Only his grandmother's kind and gentle smile could offer him a sense of
01:19warmth and love. Finally, not long after, Andreas received a conscription letter. He thought this
01:25would be his chance to escape the hellish life, but his uncle wanted him to stay and inherit the farm.
01:30So, he took Andreas to the recruitment office. Since both of his sons had died of diphtheria,
01:35he refused to let his only adopted son go to war. Given the special circumstances of their family,
01:41the recruitment office agreed to let Andreas stay. Although Andreas disagreed with his uncle's decision,
01:46he was powerless to change it. But one day, something unexpected happened. His grandmother
01:52passed away while kneading dough. Her sudden death devastated Andreas and strengthened his
01:56determination. That evening, he smashed a plate at the dinner table to release the anger that had
02:01been building inside him for years. At last, after years of scars and silence, Andreas completely broke
02:08ties with his uncle. He stood up to his uncle's punishment for the first time in his life and spoke the
02:13first meaningful words he had ever uttered. After the confrontation, Andreas left the house for good.
02:23He packed his belongings and started a new life on the other side of the town. He earned a living by
02:28plowing fields and chopping wood for the villagers. After years of tireless labor and saving, Andreas had
02:33built up some modest savings by the time he turned 29. One day, by chance, he discovered a run-down
02:40cabin halfway up the mountain. In front of the cabin lay a frozen deer, clearly showing that no one had
02:45lived there for a long time. Inside, Andreas found an old man, barely alive and nearly frozen to death.
02:52Out of kindness, Andreas tried to carry the old man down the mountain for medical help. But the man
02:57didn't want him to take that risk. Catching a cold from sweating in the snow could be extremely dangerous.
03:02The old man said death wasn't a terrible thing. People often said that death brought new life.
03:07But the old man believed death brought nothing only a deeper, colder silence. Then, when Andreas wasn't
03:13looking, the old man slipped away into the snowy forest. Andreas didn't go after him. Instead,
03:19he returned to town and ordered a drink at the local tavern. Staring into the flames of the fireplace,
03:25he couldn't stop thinking about the old man's final words. In that tavern worked a beautiful
03:29waitress named Marie. And Andreas was enchanted by her the moment he laid eyes on her. To win her
03:34affection, he used his years of savings to rent a small cabin halfway up the mountain.
03:39At last, Andreas had a home of his own. Every morning, he would stand in front of his cabin.
03:45Gazing at the endless Alps, he cleared a patch of land near the cabin to grow vegetables and fruit.
03:50By then, the Alps had become increasingly popular with investors. Many businessmen came to invest in
03:56the area. To attract more tourists and offer a view of the entire valley, several large companies
04:01began building cable cars. The villagers were excited, as this would bring them more income
04:06and usher the town into a new era. One day, after working in the fields, Andreas met Marie along the
04:12path. Feeding her chickens, seeing her graceful figure once again stirred emotions in Andreas' heart.
04:18Though no words passed between them, their hearts seemed to beat in unison. As usual, Andreas went to
04:24the tavern for a drink, and the bartender, noticing Andreas' gaze fixed on Marie, couldn't help but
04:30tease him. Although the bartender spoke that way, Marie's expression told Andreas she wasn't as
04:38heartless as the bartender claimed. Finally, on a day with a sky so blue and clouds so light,
04:43Andreas dressed in a suit and stood in front of the church. The majestic Alps seemed to give him courage
04:48as he quietly waited for the girl who had haunted his dreams. When Marie saw him there, she hesitated
04:53for a moment, then slowly walked toward him. But just as he was about to speak, nervous and trembling,
05:00Marie answered before he could even finish. The two of them strolled through the Alps and arrived at
05:08Andreas' little cabin. The winding trail and steep slope left Marie breathless, but the breathtaking view
05:14left her in awe. The birdsong and blooming flowers made it feel like Marie had stepped into a
05:18fairy tale. Andreas introduced her to his garden and the majestic scenery nature had gifted him.
05:23The sunlight here was much more abundant than in the valley perfect for growing plants and healing
05:28weary hearts and limbs. Inside the cabin, Andreas had crafted many of the everyday items himself,
05:34and he eagerly shared their stories with Marie. The only thing he didn't plan to build was a cattle
05:39barn because he didn't want to raise cattle or become a farmer. His grandmother had once told him
05:43that becoming a farmer meant a lifetime of toil on one's land. Marie didn't criticize his
05:48thoughts, only replying with a simple indeed. As more investors came to the town, the demand for
05:53workers kept rising. Andreas also hoped to get a job, but due to his physical disability, most companies
06:00refused to hire him. Eventually, he managed to join the workforce. He worked hard day and night to earn
06:06his wages. Three years passed in the blink of an eye, but Marie and Andreas' love remained as strong as
06:11ever. She often visited his mountain cabin, and together they admired the stunning beauty of the Alps.
06:17To Marie, the mountains looked as beautiful as fine porcelain. Finally, Andreas couldn't hold back anymore
06:23he kissed Marie for the first time. The kiss was wild and passionate, like a fire ignited in the wilderness.
06:29Marie was caught off guard by his sudden gesture. The mountain winds whispered softly through the valleys.
06:34Carrying their longing and affection, he wanted to write his love on the mountaintops,
06:38for the whole world to see. To do so, Andreas asked his friends from the construction site for help he
06:44wanted to express his love for Marie in a special way. Finally, on the evening of his 35th birthday,
06:51Andreas invited Marie to walk with him in the Alps. Andreas wanted to show Marie something she would
06:56never forget. A gentle breeze swept across the mountains, and the grass continued to rustle.
07:01Andreas and Marie sat quietly on the meadow. As soon as Andreas finished speaking,
07:05a blaze of fire lit up on the mountaintop across from them. The shape of the flame shifted depending
07:11on the angle, revealing the special surprise Andreas had prepared for Marie. At last,
07:16the two lovers became husband and wife, and Andreas carried Marie holding a bouquet into their cabin.
07:21That night, the gentle Andreas softly caressed his wife and promised to protect and care for her
07:26with all his heart for the rest of his life, to provide Marie with a better life. Andreas took on
07:31several extra jobs from the foreman, at the construction site. He worked tirelessly and
07:36without complaint, and the boss was quite pleased with his performance. As a result of his hard work,
07:42his wages doubled. Thanks to the perseverance of countless workers, the first cable car was soon
07:47completed. The town finally had electricity, and life became better for everyone. Andreas and Marie's
07:53relationship grew even deeper. One day, Marie came running to Andreas in a panic, but when she saw her
07:59husband busy at work, she became too excited to speak. Finally, Andreas and Marie had a child of
08:05their own, but their happiness didn't last long on a winter night. Andreas felt the ground trembling
08:10beneath his feet. He stepped outside and saw the entire valley blanketed by an invisible force.
08:15He quickly turned back to call out to his sleeping wife, but a massive avalanche buried Andreas in an
08:21instant. It wasn't until the next morning that Andreas slowly regained consciousness. He struggled with all his
08:26strength to crawl out of the snow, and though he shouted until his voice broke, there was no response,
08:32fighting through the pain of his fractured legs. He climbed upward desperately but he never found his
08:36wife or child. Soon after, Andreas was discovered by local villagers, and the next time he saw his beloved
08:43wife was at her funeral in the town's church. Andreas collapsed to the ground, powerless, staring blankly at
08:49everything around him like a puppet who had lost its soul. In this world, aside from his deceased
08:54grandmother, Marie and their child had been Andreas's only family. For years, mental fatigue and physical
09:00suffering continued to torment the already battered young man. Eventually, with the help of the tavern
09:06owner, the badly injured Andreas slowly recovered while resting in bed. From that moment on, Andreas began
09:13writing letters to his wife. He recorded everything that happened to him on slips of paper and placed them
09:17by hand into Marie's coffin. Soon, his legs began to heal, and he returned to his diligent work at the
09:23construction site. One day, a tragic accident occurred a worker fell asleep while soaking in hot water,
09:30only to be found frozen solid the next morning. Scars are like the passage of time one after another
09:35and all suffering shapes a person. Not long after, war broke out, and with no family left to hold him
09:41back, Andreas decided to enlist. Before leaving, he visited his wife's grave, offered her a bouquet of
09:47beautiful flowers, and then went to the enlistment office. Due to his physical condition and his
09:52technical repair skills, Andreas was sent to the eastern front. There, he helped establish a camp
09:58in the mountains, providing cover for retreating comrades. But after countless days and nights,
10:03the army forgot about Andreas and left him in the remote camp. He stayed on the mountain alone for a
10:08long time, until he reached the point of desperation and had no choice but to surrender to the enemy.
10:13In prison, he was tortured, yet he never stopped writing letters to his wife.
10:18Though the winters there were far harsher than at home, Andreas never complained. This life continued
10:24until the war finally ended, and Andreas was released back to the Alps. By then, he was well
10:29into middle age. The years etched deep into his face. Upon returning to the town, the first thing
10:35Andreas did was visit his wife's grave. He dug through the living soil and placed the letters he
10:40had written over the years into Marie's coffin. Afterward, he went to the tavern, but it was no longer the
10:45same as before. Time had passed, and everything had changed. Andreas could never return to the past.
10:51Though his uncle's old house still stood, and he could almost hear his grandmother's loving
10:55guidance in his ears. Those memories lived only in his heart. In front of the old house, he met his
11:01uncle from years ago. Now an old man, his uncle still recognized Andreas by the sound of his footsteps.
11:07Though he still spoke with the same harsh tone, his frail body looked like it could crumble at any
11:12moment. He clutched Andreas's hand with all his strength, but Andreas didn't respond. He turned
11:17and walked away without hesitation, with the tavern owner's help. Andreas became a farmer once more,
11:23even though it had once been the job he hated most. He did it for twenty years. Now Andreas was an old
11:28man with white hair, a beer belly, and worn out clothes, living alone like any ordinary elder. Yet his
11:35soft, kind eyes had never changed, still carrying a trace of grace and tenderness. Due to changing times,
11:41the cabin in the mountains was scheduled for demolition, but the tavern owner continued to
11:46rent it to Andreas. However, he only lived on the lower floor upstairs. The tavern owner had
11:51rented it out to a school. Inside the school were cheerful children and a single elderly woman who
11:56happened to share Andreas's name. The old lady saw Andreas's hard work and kindness, and she reached
12:01out to him with warmth. The two tried to build a relationship, but Andreas eventually turned her down,
12:07because in his heart, he loved only one woman his wife Marie. All these years, Andreas had never
12:13stopped writing letters, and no one could compare to the love he had for his wife. The seasons passed
12:18like poetry, each change carrying nature's unique rhythm. Andreas spent day after day alone, he watched
12:24the cable cars carry crowds of tourists up and down the Alps. He smiled at the thought of astronauts
12:29walking on the moon and inhaled the endless fragrance of the wildflowers. After enduring the passage of
12:34time, Andreas had finally grown old, and his body was beginning to weaken. One cold winter, he saw a
12:41truck carrying a dried corpse. To his surprise, he was overjoyed for it was the old man from 40 years
12:47ago, the one who had told him death brought nothing but cold. After 40 years, the old man still wore a
12:53smile, clearly happy when death finally came. Time flew by, and many more years passed. Now at the end of
13:00his life, Andreas stopped a bus in the middle of town, outside the window, the scenery of the Alps
13:05flew by blue skies, white clouds, snow-capped peaks, lakes, forests, and wildflowers. This natural
13:13palace held the history and culture of all of Europe, where nature and humanity intertwined
13:18endlessly before his eyes. Nearly 80, Andreas looked out at the endless beauty and reflected on his life.
13:24Looking back, his life was filled with countless twists and challenges, but each experience shaped the
13:29man he became. His life was like a painting, each color representing a stage in his journey,
13:35together forming a masterpiece that was uniquely his. Like a script full of highs and lows,
13:40his youth burned with passion, his middle age with calm, and now in old age, he had learned to
13:45treasure peace and beauty. It wasn't until he stepped off the bus that he realized just how old
13:50he had become. In his youth, he could stand in the snow in a thin wool sweater and feel nothing but now.
13:55Even the breeze of the Alps made him shiver. Standing on the viewing platform, he gazed at the
14:01snowy peaks and green meadows as memories flashed before his eyes. At home, Andreas once again picked
14:06up pen and paper to write to his wife. Now nearly 80, Andreas had finally reached the end of his
14:12journey. In his final moments, he was still looking at the towering Alps. After his death, the tavern
14:18owner buried him beside Marie. The heavy coffin accidentally damaged the corner of Marie's coffin,
14:23and the letters he had written over the past 40 years fluttered onto Andreas's casket like
14:28butterflies, as if his departed wife were embracing the man who had struggled through life. With his
14:33long and painful life, Andreas proved how thoroughly death can cover and dissolve everything. He no longer
14:39remembered where he came from, nor did he know where he was going. In this strange, almost poetic way,
14:45he looked back on his life, and if his life had not been so full of hardship, Andreas might have known
14:50the joy of pure happiness. I'm a movie enthusiast, please subscribe to my channel, and I'll see you
