A family—Tomas (Johannes Kuhnke), Ebba (Lisa Loven Kongsli), and their children Vera (Clara Wettergren) and Harry (Vincent Wettergren)—goes on a skiing trip to the French Alps. Right away, you’re struck by how exposed the resort feels and how seriously avalanche danger is treated by those in charge. This natural occurrence creates some friction within what appears to be a close-knit family. The snow itself doesn't seem overly threatening, but when it starts moving toward them, Tomas does something that Ebba finds very difficult to accept. As they try to salvage their vacation, the strain between them grows increasingly intense, affecting not only themselves but also their friends Mats (Kristofer Hivju) and Charlotte (Karin Myrenberg Faber), who is enjoying some time away from Ebba’s seriousness. The core idea behind this film is quite captivating; it seems to examine and then undermine certain assumptions about the characters' roles. It questions Tomas’ expected responsibility as a provider while also revealing what I perceived as a degree of harshness in Ebba, which felt more damaging than she likely realized and ultimately served no purpose. The ending will probably spark disagreement, and to some extent it provides justification, but mainly it prompts us to consider the nature of panic—and that's what lingered with me most after seeing the film, as the couple grapples with something beyond explanation or understanding. The performances are adequate, as is the script, and there are moments of stunning beauty in the snowy scenery that will either draw you in or put you off skiing altogether. However, the narrative isn’t easy to follow.
