Baron von Kessel is an aristocrat who owns the mountain land above Blons but does not live in the village. Eugenio presses him to provide better avalanche protection or sell land so the villagers can arrange it themselves; the Baron argues that reforestation is sufficient. Their conflict over the land and the village’s safety is intertwined with their rivalry for Erna’s love.
