As night falls, a group of mountain climbers is trapped outside by a violent storm. A rescue crew is sent out to search for them.

An alpine drama is reduced to a telephone call. Emotions are heightened by the absence of the victim who is revealed in death. The film, enacted in an intimate place, is reduced to the essential and staged with precision. The film’s topic is not showing the heroes on the mountain but the heroes who enable mountaineers to return safely – the rescuers.
