Synopsis: We are in the Great North, near the North Pole, in a modern town where about two hundred souls live precariously in minus fifty degree weather, and where roads lead only to endless white. It is in this eerie lunar landscape that Lucy and Roman, two young tormented souls, fell in love. But now, ghosts from Lucy’s past are coming back, and she needs to run away or she will burn. Together, these lovers decide to make a leap for life, a leap for inner peace. They head out in the Great White, where the strangeness makes one feel that he is travelling inside of himself.
