synopsis

""A murder disguised as suicide? - Rainer, 21, is going on an annual trip with Georg, 43. Since father and son are strangers to each other, a long and smouldering conflict arouses in the isolation of the mountains. Rainer uses an accident on the glacier to make it look like he lost his life due to Georg's fault. Instead, he frees himself and thereby connects his disappearance to his revenge on his father."
