I am looking for a thriller about surveillance. It follows a man who works in a cold remote environment at some sort of station. Not sure what his job is but it involves looking at screens (at a weather station or similar).
He could be a scientist or even a spy. One day he accidentally taps into a home security camera that shows a woman who is in imminent danger. There is a man in her house, who terrorises her. He could be her husband or perhaps the woman is abducted. The man at the station speaks to the woman through the screen, trying to help her, but of course, she can’t hear him. The film ends with the man walking out into the arctic blizzard, supposedly freezing to death.I assume he becomes obsessed with the woman and finally sets off in an attempt to save her.
The film is definitely from before 1995, and I suspect it is a European film, bit that could be wrong. I have been looking for it for more than 20 years and I would appreciate if you could help me find it.
It is not a well-known movie, but I am surprised that I can’t find it, because the plot must have been quite original back then, when security cameras were not yet common.
