• SYNOPSIS 1995. A snowstorm rages across the mountain roads of southern France as two Spanish officers, Clara and Diego, escort a prisoner back to Spain. The prisoner is Aitor Urrutia, an expert bomb maker linked to the terrorist group ETA, and he must arrive in Pamplona before 12:00 noon for a court appearance. Just as the car is about to cross the border, they encounter a checkpoint manned by the French gendarmerie. Communication difficulties and mutual distrust turn what appears to be a routine situation into a dangerous conflict that quickly escalates.
