"Is it possible to think of nothing?
The absence of expression on Fausto’s face tells us that it is. When Ivan asks him the same thing it turns out that a thought has crept into his head: an extreme thought, dark, beyond human standards. It is this violent thought that is the origin of the encounter between Fausto and Ivan. In a remote valley, they are confronted with the impossibility of escape from their everyday existence."
