My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library. We ordinarily would not watch a 2-hour movie with subtitles but we made an exception. Being Italian it has its own unique style and cinematography but overall we found it intriguing.
It is two days before Christmas and a 16-yr-old girl leaves home at night in the fog to walk to their nearby church in this small mountain community. She never shows up at church, she simply disappears. A noted investigator comes in but solving the case proves very problematic.
As the story comes near its end they use the technique to give a lengthy explanation with flashbacks to show what happened and who did it. Plus a big surprise at the end regarding similar crimes 30 years earlier.
