Synopsis  (Country : Germany)

Wintersleepers

124 mins/1997

In winter, human activity is dictated by nature. Theo, a farmer who is almost bankrupt, is taking his horse along a snow-covered road to the vet. His young daughter is hiding in the trailer. Rene has just stolen a car and is speeding down the same road. An accident is inevitable and the daughter is not going to survive. The stolen car belonged to Marco, the boyfriend of Laura, who lives with Rebecca, the nurse looking after Theo’s daughter.

In the evenings, Laura works in a bar, where she meets Rene. Everything comes full circle. The lives of two couples and an old man in search of truth cross paths in the cold winter setting of a small mountain village.
