Charly has spent weeks inside a children’s hospital, longing for the snowy world waiting just beyond her window.

As treatment and isolation slowly wear down her spirit, another young patient named Lana finds an unexpected way to bring a little magic back into her life.

Whether it’s imagination or something more, for one brief moment, the impossible feels real.

Snowflakes is a heartfelt animated story about hope, friendship, and the small moments of joy that can change everything.

Written by Sabrina Stoll and Tiziana Giammarino
