Winter. Human activity becomes the slave to implacable nature. In a small mountain village, five people′s lives will become inextricably linked by the whims of fate. Theo, a farmer who is almost bankrupt, is taking his horse to the vet′s, along a snow-covered road. His daughter is hiding in the trailer. Rene has just stolen a car and is speeding down the same road. The accident is inevitable and the child isn′t going to survive. The stolen car belonged to Marco, the boyfriend of Laura, who lives with Rebecca, the nurse who is looking after Theo′s daughter. In the evenings, Laura works in a bar, where she meets Rene. Everything comes full circle. The lives of two couples and an old man in search of truth cross paths in the muffled winter setting.
