A young man is on parole after serving time for attempting to murder the man who killed his girlfriend in a hit and run. A woman is released from a psychiatric facility far from her homeland. These two damaged strangers cross paths in the mountains during Winter and fall into a complex intimate relationship, putting to the test their capacity to trust and heal. I can't help but think that the screenplay was written "on the fly". The DVD has optional subtitles, but given the lack of dialogue, I see no point in having them. The positive raves escape me. I know of worse NZ films, but I certainly know of many that are much better. I would rate this disappointing.

Censor Rating: M - Review rating: C-
