From the writers of Tarkovsky’s STALKER, this cozy paranoid mystery that feels like Agatha Christie hijacked by New Romantics. It lives in the same synth-laden Euro glam sci-fi universe as THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH and Fassbinder’s WORLD ON A WIRE! The police get a call-out to a lonely hotel in the Alps. When an officer gets to the hotel everything seems to be alright. Suddenly, an avalanche cuts them off from the rest of the world and strange things start happening.
"Resists the ordinary in favor of the idiosyncratic and renegade." - Joshua Polanski, There Were No Gods Left
