Rainer goes with his father Georg on vacation in the Alps. The loneliness of the mountain landscape triggers a long smouldering conflict between the two. Rainer uses an accident on the glacier, to pretende he died there. His father is left, with the knowledge of having been responsible to a certain extent.
