An Andean snow mystery unfolds at a remote ski hotel, where a Chilean girl begins to piece together a chilling disappearance. Nine-year-old Inés forms a fragile, hopeful bond with Hanna, a visiting teenage skier, and the two share a small world of woods and wind until the night Hanna vanishes. The story pivots on Inés’s growing resolve to understand what happened, even as adults press forward with their own agendas.
Set in 1992, after Pinochet’s formal departure, the film uses its icy setting to underscore a country still reeling from a shadowy past. Martelli threads the mystery with themes of memory, loyalty, and the cost of silence, while the mountains themselves bear witness. The grandparents push to lure investors from abroad, hinting at a Chile still rewriting its identity after dictatorship.
Lead performances from Maya O’Rourke and Maia Rae Domagala anchor the movie, with the pair carrying most of the emotional weight. Inés is quiet and observant, while Hanna’s mother Lina (Saskia Rosendahl) arrives from Germany, revealing layers that complicate the mystery. The film builds toward a haunting final sequence that lingers well after the credits roll.
