Chile, winter 1992. Inés (10) is in the care of her grandparents, owners
of a ski hotel in the Andes Mountains. Her parents are away; they are
in charge of mounting an iceberg at Sevilla’s Universal Exposition.
Inés befriends Hanna (15); a talented German skier who has come to
train with her team, staying at the hotel. Despite the age difference,
a peculiar connection unites them, and the new friends roam the
surroundings together.
One nigh, Hanna has a few drinks and dances with Sebastián (17), Inés’
cousin, at the hotel club. Her coach, Alexander (36), drags her back to
her room, but Sebastián sneaks in. Inés observes them walking away
through the woods.
The next day Hanna disappears.
After a negligent search by the local police, the parents arrive. In total
desperation, Lina (46), Hanna’s mother, meets Inés, who becomes her
guide. As the days go by, Inés and Lina tacitly agree to fill the void of
the other: a missing daughter, an absent mother.
