Four twenty-something characters are brought together in a snowy village somewhere in the Alps: a film exhibitor, a nurse, a translator, and a ski instructor. Two romantic liaisons ensue, with varying degrees of commitment and success. One child is killed. One is born. Spectacular snowscape panoramas and quotations to films as diverse as Hitchcock’s Spellbound and Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey form the backdrop to this microcosmic analysis of a confused and uncommitted generation.
