Yonke into embi yenzeka ebusuku. Ukufa komzimba kufumana eyona indibaniselwano yexesha kunye nendawo yesono phakathi kwe-chiaroscuro yenyanga.
Ukuba songeza i-blizzard eyomeleleyo eyahlukanisa nesikolo saseFrance sokubhoda, sigqiba ukwenza indawo efanelekileyo yesimilo sobuqili sanamhlanje UGuillaume Musso (unyaka omncinci kunomnye umFrentshi omkhulu waseNoir, UFranck thilliez) usikhokela kwinoveli ephazamisayo esinokulindela kuyo nantoni na, esekwe kwimvelaphi yombhali oza kuthi kungekudala agcwalise iziqendu zakhe ngezinto ezingaphaya kwendalo okanye atyibilikise ezothando ezithi zisuse ubunzima bobubi kunye nobunzima.
Ngeli xesha yonke into iyenzeka ngemvakalelo ye-claustrophobia eyandisiweyo ukusuka ngo-1992 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Kwixesha elidlulileyo sidibana neVinca esencinci, yolutsha oluchwayitileyo olunokwazi ukucinga ngobomi olunoluvo lokunyaniseka okuphezulu kwento ebihleli ngothando ngohlobo lwayo lweminqweno nemibono ebalaseleyo. Yile ndlela, ngenxa yolo tyekelo lubulalayo lokwehlisa lonke ukholo eluthandweni, iVinca elihlwempuzekileyo inyamalala kulaa mhlaba uzisongele kuwo phakathi kobumnyama kunye nesaqhwithi esitshisayo.
Ukubuyela kumhla wanamhlanje sizifumana sikwi-Côte d'Azur eqaqambileyo yaseFrance, apho abafundi ababesakuba ngabafundi besikolo sokubhoda badibana ukuze babhiyozele isikhumbuzo sesilivere soqeqesho lwabo kwelo ziko. Sibuyisa abahlobo bethu uThomas, uMaxime noFanny, bonke abalingane bakaVinca kwaye bahlengahlengisa ubunyani babo bangoku, bashukunyiswa ngumoya wexesha eligqumayo ukudlula ebumnyameni besezingqondweni ukuze baqhubeke nokuphila.
Kule minyaka ingama-25, kuncinci okutshintshileyo kwisikolo sokuzilungiselela esidumileyo sabantu abatsha abazizityebi, ngaphandle komsebenzi owandisiweyo obabhengeza ngesiquphe kubuxoki bakhe. Indawo endala yokuzivocavoca ilungiselela ukudilizwa kwayo, inika indawo kwisakhiwo esitsha esibonelela ngenkonzo engcono kwiziko.
Ngaphandle kokuba olo donga ludonga into engaphezulu kweyeyomthambo ngokwawo kunye nabahlobo abathathu kungekudala kuya kufuneka bajongane nenyani yesigqibo sabo sobumnyama lixesha elifutshane lokutyhilwa. Kwaye kulapho uThomas, uMaxime kunye noFanny kufuneka bephinde badlulise ixesha elidlulileyo ukuze bajongane noloyiko lwabo olunzulu kunye netyala.
