Adrian, a billionaire tech mogul, retreats to a luxurious hotel by a remote Swiss lake. There, he meets Anna-warm, sincere, and nothing like the world he comes from. As Adrien's attraction to her grows, Anna begins to question: Is he capable of sincerity, or am I just part of whatever he's trying to forget ? And what exactly is he hiding, up here in the silence of the mountains?

I think the shock was too sudden. I didn't feel anything anymore, like a body suspended, detached from my mind. I could no longer hear him repeating endlessly:
"Anna, I'm sorry, I wanted to protect you. I wanted to keep you away from all this..."
And I felt so far from him, so foreign to his words. His handsome suit and the frozen lake reflected in the massive bay window. That place I would never see again.
After a silence, I finally found the strength to whisper:
"What breaks me isn't that you lied to me, it's that now, I'll never be able to trust you again."
And my mind slipped away once more. Then, in a desperate rush, he kissed me, as if to bring me back to life and whispered to me for the first time :
"I love you so much, Anna, so much."
