When you've lost everything, is there a place you can go back to?
After his big city dreams are crushed, Manabu (Yusuke Iseya) returns to Hokkaido, the countryside of his childhood, with confusion, guilt, and secrets. After betting and losing the last of his money at a draft horse race, his older brother Takeo (Koichi Sato), reluctantly allows him to re-enter his life. Through the struggles of the racing horses, the two brothers begin to understand and respect each other again.
Masterfully directed, Director Kichitaro Negishi captures the idyllic and relaxed setting of Hokkaido while subtly building emotional momentum centering around hope, acceptance, forgiveness, and redemption.
WHAT THE SNOW BRINGS was the big winner at the 2005 Tokyo Festival, taking home the Grand Prix, as well as the Director, Actor and Audience Awards.
