Max is an insurance claims adjuster who is investigating a strange disappearance case. The trail will lead him to Aurora Hotel, a remote luxury resort that caters to special clients’ desires, assisting its guests to fulfill their suicidal fantasies. Max is lethargically immersed into a maelstrom of disorientation and confusion, questioning all certainties of his life, as he comes to understand that suicide might be the only way out of this maze of paranoia. An existential “wake-up call,” set in a mesmerizing polar landscape, through which emerges an inner struggle for dignity and – ultimately – love.
