In 1968, an internationally renowned French film director unexpectedly lands in Abitibi, in the northwest of Quebec, to conduct political and mass-media experiments. This event fuels the revolutionary tendencies of Michel, a local young man, and the desire to travel the world of Marie, his girlfriend.

In a remote village in Thailand, Sukwan, an 8-year-old autodidact, is building with her parents’ help a life-sized version of ‘Snowyaland’: an imaginary world she has conceived in her own mind. Against all odds, the modest family has been pursuing this colossal endeavour over the years while attempting to preserve Sukwan’s luxuriant inner world as she is soon approaching adolescence and its many temptations.
