## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Snow chokes a mountaintop road. A woman’s gloved hand cradles a revolver. Inside the stranded car, one voice demands truth, the other begs for silence.

Three days later, police find two bodies and a signed statement. No one asks why the gun was hers to begin with.

A stark, sunlit Japanese noir from the early sixties.

**Mood tags**: gut-punch, paranoid, tender
