In a cold and remote landscape, two strangers struggle to repair their broken pasts. Jack is on parole after serving time for grievous bodily harm. Grace 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.

Dustin Feneley’s feature debut, winner of the Best Actor Award at the Moscow Festival, beautifully captures New Zealand’s moody and majestic southern landscape and the character drama that unfolds there.
