Nippon Visions   ½ 

When it snows in the Japanese Prefecture of Niigata, it snows a lot! Life in the villages has its hardships, but despite this, a few people from Tokyo and other big cities have tried to build new lives for themselves in those mountains and valleys. In his documentary, KOBAYASHI portrays their motivation and their attitudes without falling into the trap of over-sentimentalization.
