Giulia, young and rebellious, drifts through her teenage years without a care in the world. But suddenly, everything shatters: a haunting silence, an unavoidable act of violence ties her unknowingly to a mysterious femicide long buried beneath the snow. A soul from the past and a living body in the present — connected through a strange kind of transference — are drawn to relive the same tragic violence, played out in two different yet eerily similar times.
