Claudio Noce : 2014
The Ice Forest
A mystery surrounds the dam that overlooks a small village in the Italian Alps, on the border with Slovenia. Lana, a determined policewoman, passing herself off as a zoologist tracking bears, attempts to uncover the secrets of this rough and wary community. As a storm approaches menacingly in the background, Pietro, a young expert technician, comes to the valley to repair a malfunction at the high-altitude electrical plant. He is suddenly involved in a strange disappearance that leads him to clash with brothers Lorenzo and Secondo, who live and work in the area. When the young man understands the origin of the secrets hidden in the heart of the valley, the tensions explode with extreme cruelty and distorting mirrors make no one immune from suspicion, not even Lana, the bears expert zoologist. A slow-motion suspense thriller and noir, about borderlands and illegal immigrant trafficking; about a past that resurfaces and a cold-blooded vendetta, twenty years on. Claudio Noce's second feature premiered at Rome Film Festival 2014.
