The third part of the "Glaciation Trilogy" ~ Based on true events ~ On December 23, 1993, a 19-year-old student armed with a gun stormed into a bank in Austria and opened fire indiscriminately at the guests, resulting in three deaths. After the incident, the student committed suicide by gun in his car ~ This bank massacre brought together a group of Austrians of different identities, backgrounds, and ages. The film uses a pile of fragmented scenes to explore their lives in the moments leading up to the crime ~ A small orphan from Romania finds himself on the streets, eventually making it to television for an interview, where he is adopted by an Austrian couple who had previously adopted a little girl ~ An elderly security guard has a strained relationship with his wife and struggles to communicate, wanting to reach out but not knowing how to start; a lonely elderly man is neglected by his daughter, wishing to see his granddaughter but finding it impossible; the young perpetrator turns out to be a skilled table tennis player who buys a stolen handgun, goes to a gas station to refuel on Christmas Eve, and only realizes he has no change when he intends to pay, thinking about withdrawing money from the bank but seeing long lines...
