Spoilers ahead

In the serene, snow-blanketed countryside of Quebec, Tomas Eldan, a dedicated novelist, and his partner Sara found themselves ensnared in a web of domestic strife. While Sara longed for the comfort of a conventional life filled with marriage and children, Tomas remained absorbed in his literary pursuits, inadvertently neglecting their relationship. This growing chasm was tragically deepened by an unforeseen incident that would irreversibly change both their lives.

On a chilling winter’s night, as Tomas drove along the winding roads, a toboggan carrying two young brothers, Christopher (only 5 years old) and Nicholas, collided violently with his vehicle, resulting in the heartbreaking loss of Nicholas. Although Christopher emerged physically unscathed, the emotional repercussions of that night cast a long shadow over Tomas, leaving deep psychological scars.
