When I was like 7 I saw a movie that for some reason got stuck in my head but I don’t remember much about it. Actually, I remember almost nothing. What I remember:
Movie was not black and white, I saw it in the early 2000’s on TV, no idea about the language.
It takes place in some kind of village near mountains and a glade. I remember lots of grass. From the clothes, I remember it looked like Asterix and Obelix era (plain dresses, wooden houses). Gives me the idea of northern Europe? I know, not very helpful.
The villagers “find” a man who I think seemed to be from a different village and could not communicate with him for some reason. There is a nice young lady that he has a close friendship with. One day when the girl is in the field she is killed by a rock? And they create a wooden structure, they put her body there for a watch (some kind of cultural thing I assume). And the mysterious man plays some kind of instrument (flute I think) and that brings her back to life?
This might sound crazy but I often think about this movie and the scenes I remember. I am not sure how much of that is my imagination after 13 years. I would really appreciate if someone could give me the title or if you also remember this movie but not the title, maybe some more scenes that could help me with my search.
Have a great day!
It sounds like some variant of “The Magic Flute”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_inspired_by_The_Magic_Flute
Thanks for taking an interest.
I tried checking the film adaptations but none of them were close to what I can remember. unfortunately.
“Andriesh” (1954)?
