Treasures Of The Snow (1983)




For years I had only remembered a small scene from this movie but had no idea what it was called. All I rembered was this freaky ass scene where a kid falls off a cliff and everyone thinks he's dead, then his father has to repell down the cliff to find his body. The boy survives the fall but has several broken bones. Another kid is blamed for the fall and becomes an outcast.

I tracked this movie down recently and watched it. It actually holds up pretty well. Despite the heavy religious overtones, it's got a great message about guilt and forgiveness. The production is top-notch (filmed on location in the Swiss Alps) and the child actors are excellent.
