At first glance, the small village of Jungholz looks like a perfectly normal mountain village. But there is a unique feature: Jungholz is a small piece of Austria almost entirely surrounded by Germany. How did this wondrous exclave come to be? And what curiosities does it entail today?

A film by Matthias Schwarzer and Noah Matzat.
