Synopse
A mystery thriller about a missing teenager in the Andes, with a quiet, yet threatening beauty, and an allegory about the culture of silence in Chile shortly after the end of the Pinochet era. Chile 1992, two years after Pinochet. 9-year old Inés is parked in her grandparents’ hotel at a ski resort while her parents transport an iceberg from the Antarctic to the Expo in Seville. As she roams the deserted corridors and rooms, she comes across 15-year old Hanna, a German ski tourist, and the two become friends. But then Hanna disappears and the search for her reveals hidden secrets.
Regie
