, which premiered in Competition at the Berlinale in 2022 and earned a Special Mention, Koch returns with a drama about personal collapse and spiritual reckoning.

The drama follows Christian Andersen, a renowned Danish neurosurgeon whose life unravels after a failed operation results in the death of a young patient. Grappling with guilt and denial, he suffers a devastating personal blow when his own daughter goes missing. Determined to find her, he sets out on a journey into a primeval mountain world and into the depths of his own inner self. His desperate search leads him to the darkest and highest reaches of the Swiss Alps, where he must confront his responsibility, wrestle with guilt and suppression, and ultimately seek forgiveness in order to reclaim both his daughter and himself.
