In the frozen silence of a mountain lake, a fisherman’s insatiable greed drives him beyond the limits of reason — until the lake itself takes everything back.

SYNOPSIS:

High in the mountains, where the world lies still beneath snow and fog, Arman, a middle-aged fisherman, returns to a frozen lake from his past.

At first, he seeks only to catch enough fish to survive, but the quiet vastness feeds something darker within him.

Each catch fuels his hunger for more — his greed turning the calm act of fishing into a desperate obsession.

Surrounded by the lifeless fish he’s taken, Arman clings to a silver locket with a photo of his lost family, a reminder of everything he once loved — and destroyed.

As the day fades, his need to take what the lake won’t freely give pushes him to a fatal decision.

He prepares a stick of dynamite, determined to rip his prize from the depths.

When the explosion comes, the lake consumes him — not in rage, but in silence.

At dawn, the water is calm again.

Only the locket and a few frozen fish remain,

and deep beneath the ice, Arman’s shadow drifts slowly into the darkness.
