The third part of the "Glaciation Trilogy" - based on true events - On December 23, 1993, a 19-year-old student armed with a gun stormed into a bank in Austria and opened fire on guests, resulting in three deaths. Afterward, the student committed suicide in his car. This bank massacre brought together a group of Austrians of different identities, backgrounds, and ages. The film uses a series of fragmented scenes to explore their lives before the incident. A little orphan from Romania wanders the streets, eventually appearing on television, and is adopted by an Austrian couple who had previously adopted a little girl. An elderly security guard struggles with a distant relationship with his wife and finds it hard to communicate; an elderly man feels neglected by his daughter, longing to see his granddaughter but unable to find a way; the young assailant turns out to be a good table tennis player who buys a stolen handgun and, on Christmas Eve, drives to a gas station to fill up, only to realize he has no change when he wants to pay, and then considers going to the bank but sees a long queue...
