ICEMAN
a fiction feature film
5000 years ago, in the Ötztals Alps, lived a man with his woman and their children. The man had to leave his family in order to hunt and provide the necessary food to survive, but as soon as he came back to the hut, he found his family murdered, the shed burned down and even the holy amulet had been stolen.
Full of rage, he decided to challenge the freezing mountains to find the killer of his family. Surrounded only by ice, he marched on for days, crying out for revenge. But in the moment he will bump into his enemy, instead of rage and revenge, he will feel an unexpected sense of compassion.
The (possible) history of Ötzi, the Ice-man.
