A getaway meant to save a broken relationship turns into a nightmare when he is found murdered in a remote cabin, isolated by the cold and silence of the mountains. A detective interrogates the only suspect while the house itself seems to distort reality. A hypnotic and unsettling domestic noir infused with psychological horror.
Andrea and her partner Diego arrive at an isolated mountain cabin hoping to repair a relationship that has been broken for a long time. From the very beginning, however, Andrea feels an unease she cannot explain: the blackened stone house, surrounded by snow and forest, seems to be watching them. The cold is brutal, the silence oppressive, and the sense of confinement settles in from the very first night.
While Diego sleeps, Andrea hears footsteps circling the cabin — running, breathing over the snow. Terrified, she wakes him, but he finds nothing outside. The following day, during a walk through the mountains, they discover a dying deer pierced by a gunshot, an image that deeply disturbs her. When they return, they find footprints surrounding the house: someone has been there.
A storm cuts them off from the outside world. In the nearby village lives Blanca Costa, a detective haunted by guilt and her own past, who receives a call about a murder. When she arrives at the cabin, she finds Diego dead in the shed, stabbed and covered with a quilt. Andrea, in shock, insists she found him that way, although all the evidence points directly at her. Even so, Blanca senses something strange about the house — an unsettling presence she cannot explain.
During the interrogation, Andrea reconstructs the history of her relationship. It began after her mother’s death, when she clung to Diego for support, but soon spiralled into manipulation, abuse and violence, culminating in rape. Although he later returned promising to change, Andrea was never truly able to free herself from him.
When Blanca decides to take her away, Andrea says goodbye to the cabin with an ambiguous “See you forever, my love,” and the detective believes she sees a silhouette standing at one of the windows. Later, the truth emerges: Andrea killed Diego. In her diary, she confesses how the mountain and the house awakened something dark inside her, a presence that amplified her pain and rage. She feels no guilt — only relief — as though part of her has fused forever with the cold, the stone and the silence of that place.
RELEVANT INFORMATION: Lu Pérez is a Spanish writer who studied Humanities and specialised in comparative literature. She combines her literary career with work in the publishing industry.
Nieve, her debut novel, won the VII Premio Auguste Dupin de Novela Negra. The novel combines the codes of domestic noir and psychological thriller with elements of horror, creating a story driven not only by crime, but by two central forces: the oppressive, freezing and deeply claustrophobic atmosphere embodied by the cabin, and its two complex, tormented female protagonists.
The story lends itself to a highly sensory and cinematic adaptation, built around a visually charged atmosphere of tension capable of keeping audiences trapped between drama and psychological horror.
