A young Swedish family is on a skiing vacation in the French Alps. The sun is shining, the slopes are magnificent, and the mountain idyll is perfect. But suddenly, disaster strikes while they’re having lunch on the restaurant terrace: an avalanche races toward them with full force. In a panic, mother Ebba grabs the two children—in a panic, father Tomas… runs for his life. When the dust settles, everyone is unharmed. Although the worst has been averted, the shock of Tomas’s actions lingers.
