Synopsis: In a timeless village, sensible schoolteacher Maria meets dreamy Elsa, deeply in love with a man she has met only twice. In the stillness of the night, Elsa contacts her lover through her dreams - her thoughts crossing not only the mountains, but transcending time as well. Little by little Maria is drawn into collaboration with Elsa's fantasy, embarking on an exploration of Elsa's dreamworld, a mysterious threatening irrational realm where fear and hope are poised in delicate balance. By the time Maria tries to withdraw, it is too late.
