HELLO

BLOOD FOR ROSES

A melodramatic science fiction performance

Weather is a set of all the phenomena occurring in a given atmosphere at a given time. Winter used to be the coldest season of the year, between autumn and spring.
(Wikipedia 2029)

So Long Snow takes place in a future, where ice and snow no longer exist. This absence is palpable. The weather has lost its biting chill and no longer offers humanity its cold comfort. The splendor of a snow-white landscape that could soothe human sorrow, the ice singing beneath one’s gliding blades on a long skate trip, and the joy of children playing in the snow: all these live on in the memory of just a small group of people.

These people cannot bring winter back, but they want to forget nothing. Can we prevent the our memories from melting away? How can we say goodbye?

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
(from the movie Bladerunner)
