After the Blizzard
North Wales feels the chill in this picture-perfect glimpse of the calm after a winter storm.
Overview
Covered with a glittering blanket of snow, picturesque North Wales awakes from its wintry slumber in this charming short film. A gently thawing water wheel and a mountainside resplendent with icicles bring to mind romantic Hollywood film sets, as do the dissolves and iris transitions between scenes - but reality intrudes in the form of the workmen tasked with shovelling snow from the roadside.
