Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
A couple vacationing in the Alps with their daughter is inconvenienced when an avalanche blocks all routes from the town they are staying in. Because the town is overcrowded, they are forced to accommodate their daughter in their tiny room, and they have a quarrel. This sends the wife into the next room, occupied by a soldier. She is wary of him at first but begins to have an affair, which is hardly a secret to anyone. Slowly, the three people come to some kind of accommodation in this tricky situation.
