An autumn day and the first winter night in the high mountains: it is hunting season. The paths of animals and humans cross and fade away. Swathes of mist blur the boundaries between dream, imagination and reality.

Synopsis German
Ein Herbsttag und die erste Winternacht im Hochgebirge, es ist Jagdzeit. Tiere und Menschen ziehen ihre Bahnen zwischen dem hohen Himmel und der wilden Landschaft. Nebelschwaden verwischen die Grenzen zwischen Traum, Einbildung und Realität.
Synopsis French
Une journée d’automne et la première nuit d’hiver en haute montagne: c’est la saison de la chasse. Les chemins des animaux et des hommes se croisent et disparaissent. Des nappes de brouillard brouillent les frontières entre rêve, imagination et réalité.
