A mysterious, solitary Italian man has lived in a quiet Swiss hotel for eight years. His existence is one of strict, emotionless routine, involving a weekly meeting with two suitcases. His carefully constructed life is disrupted when he develops a quiet fascination with a young bartender at the hotel, a connection that threatens to unravel the dangerous secret he is paid to keep.
