1962. A physics congress in the Alps. An Iranian guest. A mysterious pianist. A bizarre cloud formation in the sky and a mysterious boom underground. A quantum mechanic thriller in black and white.
1962. Johannes Leinert, together with his
doctoral advisor, travels to a physics
congress in the Swiss Alps, where an Iranian scientist
is set to reveal a 'groundbreaking theory of quantum
mechanics'. But when the physicists arrive at the five-star hotel, the Iranian guest is nowhere to be found. In
the absence of a new theory to be discussed, the physics
community patiently turns to skiing. Johannes, however,
remains at the hotel to work on his doctoral thesis,
but soon finds himself distracted, developing a
fascination with Karin, a young jazz pianist.
Something about her seems strange, elusive. She seems
to know things about him - things that he thought only
he knew about. When one of the German physicists is
found dead one morning, two inspectors arrive on the
scene, investigating a homicide case. As increasingly
bizarre cloud formations appear in the sky, the pianist
disappears without a trace - and Johannes finds himself
dragged into a sinister story of false memories, waking
nightmares, impossible love and a dark, and a roaring mystery
hidden beneath the mountain.
