In a remote Belgian town, Bernard struggles to provide for his daughter, Marie, whose survival depends on a sinister secret. As winter tightens its grip, he finds himself torn between his duty as a father and the weight of his own conscience. When a wandering poet crosses his path, Bernard sees a glimpse of the man he once was—but also an opportunity. As the night unfolds, so does a harrowing tale of sacrifice, guilt, and the terrifying lengths we go to for the ones we love.
