Synopsis: 

A hiker disappeared on the pass. Magda, a new tobacconist in the village below, and her friend Eliane, an old gossipmonger, will get a little bit too interested in the case.

Visual concept: 

In this rural thriller, I want to mix the aesthetic of genre cinema with documentary reality. To show violence, I imagine an off camera allowing the viewer to fantasize the darkest elements of the story, like Magda who imagines things which don't exist. My native village and its surrounding mountains will be filmed in a timeless and anxious realism.
