Plot

Pietro, a young specialized technician, arrives in a small Alpine town on the Slovenian border to repair a fault in the high-altitude power plant and then suddenly finds himself faced with a strange disappearance. A strong clash is therefore created between the young Pietro and two brothers, Lorenzo and Secondo, who work and live in that area. Once Pietro discovers the origin of the secrets hidden in the valley, all tension erupts, starting a game of distorting mirrors in which no one, not even Lana, the bear expert, is immune from suspicion.
