As Bruce, drunk, drives his snowplow during a snowstorm, he accidentally hits another man and kills him. Panic-stricken, he hides in a forest, where he passes a rough winter, oppressed by guilty feelings that are made even more unbearable by the fact that his survival depends on the very machine that plunged him into this nightmare.

Declaration
film director
“The plow is definitely an important character. I liked the idea that this machine, paralyzed by Mother Nature, ends up taking a human form through the eyes of Bruce. And Bruce eventually tries to transfer his guilt over to the plow and even gets to the point where he blames it for what happened. Finally, their relationship evolves as Bruce begins to make sense of and even cope with what happened to the victim. And in a weird way, Bruce and the victim share a similar trajectory. They both have a difficult past and they collide through this tragic event which obviously impacts their fate.”
