What is The White Ribbon about? Toggle content

In a small, rural town in Northern Germany on the eve of World War I, strange and inexplicable events begin to occur. A group of children and teenagers, led by the village schoolteacher and their families, become embroiled in a series of mysterious accidents and crimes. As the events escalate, it becomes clear that someone - or something - is targeting the community's most vulnerable members. But who or what is behind these sinister acts? The schoolteacher, driven by his own moral compass, sets out to uncover the truth and bring justice to the town. Through his investigation, he uncovers a web of secrets and lies that threaten to tear apart the very fabric of their tight-knit community. As tensions rise and paranoia takes hold, everyone becomes a suspect. Will they be able to uncover the truth before it's too late? And will they be able to stop whatever evil force is behind these events before it destroys them all?
