Two men go walking in the Dolomites, but not together; one falls to his death, the other reports the body.

The taut cat-and-mouse between the investigating magistrate and the suspect – an old political hand in solitary confinement – and their somewhat Socratic dialogue make for an elegant two-hander with much to be relished.
