Full of suspense and unexpected turns of events, this real life story is told using the tracks of people, animals and items (a knife!) impressed on snow and a striking soundtrack saturated only with music, natural sounds and silence, the latter having an extremely spectacular dramatic effect. Words are unnecessary. The image assisted by the sound lead the narration of this mysterious story in a very precise way.
