After the umpteenth robbery in a supermarket of Ferzano town, the twenty-year-old Patrizio, Tonio and Fabiano are forced to deal with the disciplined anarchy of a prison plagued by devious wardens and young gang leaders. But only Patrizio will be offered the opportunity to redeem himself. Some weeks later he will be sent to Santa Pelva, a recovery community built in an ancient estate near Mount Crura, a mysterious mountain village whose few denizens tell of exceptional blizzards and haunting presences hidden in the snow.
Following the psychological teen-fiction of "Third Testament", the hermetic fantasy of "Endometria", the magic realism of "Seahorses under sclerotic" and "Autumn Piercing", the sci-fi-existential thriller of "In the estuary dawn", with "Nurse Blizzard" is a contemporary fable on the quest for identity and purity denied by the cynicism and the homologating exhibitionism of a hyper-connected society in an increasingly disjointed world.
