A ski resort in the scenic Austrian Alps. A weather camera installed to display majestic mountain panoramas, casually captures a panorama of human abominations. While the panning frame lines wander back and forth, inside the frame interpersonal lines are being crossed. A bizarre film about all too common encounters and the tragedy in seemingly harmless interactions.
