Co-written and directed by Abel Ferrara, this psychological drama is about Clint (Willem Dafoe), a man who seems to be on a journey to self-discovery without first realizing that he is. Running away from his past life that deeply affected him negatively, he chooses to live alone in a remote cabin somewhere in cold Siberia. He operates a small caf? but is generally detached from the community where he now circulates. But as memories and dreams of his past continue to haunt him, he is prompted by some unknown force and feeling to an icy journey using a dogsled.
