A Swiss family travel on a ski holiday. They do not return until late in life. Their children search for them all over but are unable to find them. After some years they are unfortunately declared dead, death in absentia after they have been missing for an extended period of time without any proof that they are still alive. Like an intricately constructed puzzle in the form of meshing, hooking, and dovetailing irregularly shaped pieces that make a picture when fitted together, the natural truth reveals, piece by piece the conundrum of their parent’s demise and survival.
