Sünopsis

When police officer Glebsky prepares to spend a peaceful night at a lonely hotel in the middle of snowy mountains he has no idea that he will meet some extravagant guests there. What's more, some of them behave in a suspicious way and nightmarish fear seems to hide behind their fake vivacity. Hinckus, who has tuberculosis, can be understood in his troubles. But what is wrong with others staying at the hotel - physicist Simone, respectable Mr and Mrs Moses? And what secrets does the manager of the hotel, Alex, hide? Murder is only the question of time in such a tense situation. During his investigation, Glebsky collides with the reality that is not from this world.
