The Universal Theory movie storyline. In 1962, Johannes Leinert goes to a physics congress with his doctoral advisor at the Hotel Esplanade in the Swiss Alps. An Iranian scientist will give a groundbreaking lecture on quantum mechanics here. But when the speaker is late, the high society spends the break with humorous dinner parties and elegant ski trips.
Meanwhile, a mysterious pianist fascinates Johannes, but something is not right about him. When a German physicist dies a horrific death, two investigators arrive at the scene to investigate. As strange cloud formations appear in the sky, the pianist disappears without a trace and Johannes pursues a secret rooted deep within the mountain.
