A slow, tense descent into a strained marriage and remote mountain isolation, where bitterness and threat simmer quietly.

Overview
Adrien is a cop. One night, during an intervention, a tragedy happens and he ends up nailed to a wheelchair. Because of this accident, his relationship with his wife, Barbara, seriously deteriorates. The couple is in a crisis. Hoping to work on their relationship, they take several days off in Adrien's father's cottage, a small place lost in the mountains.
