Synopsis

’Sennentunschi: Curse of the Alps’’
The Alps, 1975, a remote mountain village. After a local priest dies in mysterious circumstances and the sudden appearance from nowhere of a beautiful, dumb young woman, dressed in rags, the townsfolk superstitions are quickly aroused.
Thought to be somehow linked to the recent tragedy, this mysterious beauty is disliked by everyone except Reusch, a trusting cop with a troubled past.
Meanwhile, inside a remote shack in the Alps on a nearby hilltop, a trio of lonely farmers drunkenly rouses each other by pleading to the dark forces to blow life into a straw doll turning it into a beautiful woman to tend to their desire. Once alive, this sexy creation is used and abused by her testosterone-filled captors.
However, it’s not long before the game is turned and their object of desire takes her bloody revenge on them or anyone who crosses her path.
Thanks to some plucky detective work, the policeman discovers that these events are connected and that the mysterious woman he’s taken under his wing may be hiding a deadly secret.
