Synopsis

A deserted, snow-covered landscape. An unknown place and time. An anonymous, timeless man slides into a devastated industrial building. He is enclosed by ruins and rust, indifferent witnesses of time. He advances among the debris, following a ritual as precise as it is cryptic. The past resonates at every step. Echoes of a presence. A solitary figure fluctuates on an abyss. An unmentionable fear. Oblivion. Total disappearance.
