ABOUT THE FILM
In a cold and remote landscape, two strangers struggle to repair their broken pasts.
A young man is on parole after serving time for attempting to murder the man who killed his girlfriend in a hit and run. A woman is released from a psychiatric facility far from her homeland. These two damaged strangers cross paths in the mountains in winter and fall into a complex intimate relationship, putting to the test their capacity to trust and heal.
Starring Kieran Charnock (The Rehearsal) and Arta Dobroshi (Lorna's Silence)
