Synopsis:

Alex, a professional tourist guide, is asked to welcome Sacha,a young woman of Russian extraction. She has participated in a contest and, consequently, won a one-week stay in Geneva. From the oustset, the young woman shakes up Alex's plans and drags him along with her through a risky and hazardous treasure-hunt at the confines of Eastern Switzerland. Wanted by the police and hunted down by the mafia, Alex and Sacha decide to shake off their pursuers by moving about more slowly than the others: they then advance through lakes and other roundabout ways. While Alex and Sacha sink deeply into an ever stranger Switzerland, they will observe, discover, oppose and finally love each other to the vanishing point.

Alex, a tourist guide by profession, is given the task of welcoming a young Russian woman, Sacha, who has won a week's holiday in Geneva. But from the moment she arrives, Sacha puts a wrench in Alex's plans, luring him into a rash and dangerous treasure hunt which takes them all the way to the borders of eastern Switzerland. Sought by both the police and the mafia, Alex and Sacha decide to shake off their pursuers by traveling at a slower pace, and take to the lakes and other circuitous routes. As the couple gradually disappear into an increasingly foreign Switzerland, they begin to observe, discover, seduce, oppose, and finally love each other, until they vanish completely.
