Film Synopsis
Professor Schneider, his son and a young palaeontologist arrive in the
Lötschental valley, Switzerland, to pursue a scientific study
which could radically alter our view of human evolution. By
chance, they run into a family of tourists who have come to the area to
attend a carnival. Neither party can have any idea of the
nightmarish ordeal that lies ahead, and they will be lucky to
survive. But who is their mysterious enemy? Is it possible
that we are not the only humans on Earth?
