After his wife's battle with cancer, a director creates a film fictionalizing her death. He turns the camera on his family, inviting them into a role-playing experiment about absence and grief. In his fiction, the wife disappeared in the Swiss Alps leaving no trace behind. The call of the mountains haunts him until one day he ventures into the dangerous peaks with hopes of bringing her back. Once there, his world dissolves into memories, fiction, and reality. The film navigates the space between auto-fiction and traditional narrative.
