Description: Three people undergo inner turmoil as a result of their complicity in a murder. The setting is Alaska, where they have been cut off from civilization by winter storms and spring floods. The film, considered by many to be Kuleshov's best film, makes effective use of the Kuleshov effect, in which the mathematical precision of every gesture and movement contributes to the total effect of each character and episode.
