A man is travelling on board a green station wagon amidst the snow coverer landscape of Abruzzo, in search of something, perhaps the booty from a forgotten robbery. A dark-skinned woman is dumped and then followed by a minor gangster, perhaps because she has taken something important from him. Why does Donato decide to help Norah and take her with him along a stretch of his mysterious journey? Why doesn’t Norah move away from Donato, remaining with him until the end, until the whole reason for his search is revealed? The casual encounter of two lives “with their backs to the wall”. The background is an Italian province that it is difficult to recognise.
