This is the story of the relationship between a rebellious young city girl, Adriana, and an old misanthrope, Bernard, in a remote valley in the Mercantour, a place of powerful natural beauty. Initially filmed according to the principles of a thriller, the film gradually transforms into a motionless journey evoking an initiatory tale: from renouncing petty hatreds, we move on to total immersion in an emblematic snowy landscape ruled by a white wolf. The encounter between these two lonely souls will lead each of them to a form of redemption: for Adriana, it will be through artistic creation.
