Desc: Arme Seelen: Directed by Edwin Beeler. The film transcends a dreamlike reality into the mysterious land of poor souls. Witnesses from rural areas of Central Switzerland tell their tales of enigmatic encounters with persons from hereafter, and about outrages by decedents, which have to be expiated. An ethnographic movie about an archaic folk-mythology, 'The Souls' documents a culture of sagas and myths sadly now dying out because, in modern reasoning, death is suppressed and taboo.
