    Good until...
    If you love the Haute Pyrenees this is a winter's view of that treacherous landscape filled with narrow winding roads in the middle of nowhere. An accident happens and is covered up. The night clerk knows who did it. At first he is given a better job to keep his mouth shut, but an inspector is persistent and the hotel owner let's him go. He has no money and robs the hotel. He is taken in. Will he tell the truth? The unique winter landscape is the main reason to see this. The actors are good. The script is a stupid cover up of a snowy road accident. The whole thing could have been explained. I would still recommend it.
