A story of love lost and found in a small
town, SNOW ANGELS is a heartrending portrayal of three
couples in various stages of life orbiting around each other
in search of connection and meaning. An unexpected act of
violence disrupts the lives of these intertwined couples
revealing the profound moments in which they each realize
how precarious and remarkable life can be.
High school student Arthur plays trombone in the marching
band, busses tables at the local Chinese restaurant and
avoids his squabbling parents. At work, he flirts with
Annie, who used to be his baby-sitter. Annie is trying to
build a new life for herself and her daughter after
splitting with high school sweetheart Glenn. A man with a
troubled past, Glenn hopes to make a new start by getting a
job and reconnecting with his family.
At school, Arthur meets a pretty girl, Lila, who is just as
nerdy as he is, and they quickly develop a crush on each
other. Though Lila makes her feelings for Arthur painfully
obvious, Arthur is reluctant to accept her advances as he
watches his father move out of the family home while his
mother struggles to keep things together. Determined to find
happiness, Arthur begins to fall for the irresistible Lila,
even as he witnesses Annie and Glenn tear each other apart
in a series of distressing encounters at the same time as
his parents begin separate lives.
Then, on a cold winter morning, Glenn and Annie’s past
catches up with their future. In one shocking moment, all of
the pain and struggle comes to a screeching halt. For them,
and for everyone who knows them, nothing will ever be the
same.
Written for the screen and directed by David Gordon Green,
SNOW ANGELS stars Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell, Michael
Angarano, Jeannetta Arnette, Griffin Dunne, Nicky Katt, Tom
Noonan, Connor Paolo, Amy Sedaris and Olivia Thirlby.
