A one-night tale of adventure in which a boy who longs for the snow travels to a northern land with a snowman childhood friend. Director Yashiro was born in a snowy region, and this work is based on nostalgic memories of his hometown that came to him as he watched a snow-covered long-distance express train. It is the first in the Norman The Snowman series, a popular work that has been screened in more than 30 planetariums across Japan. It has also spread to 4K broadcasts and theater releases.
