Description

The Mayor had sold the city’s snow-removal equipment to balance the budgets. In on the deal, his communications adviser Bjørn was told to summon his mother from Norway – a certified expert at snow removal. Caught in the blizzard, Bjørn’s flatmates, Wolfgang and the Dane, were forced to re-assess their lives’ choices: Why a climate scientist? Why an artist? Why not love? Why London? Kweku, newly arrived from Ghana, tried to help a troubled Wolfgang by drawing strength from his theory of magnets. And meeting an enigmatic therapist, the Dane forgot his past – readied to start over again. But the snow kept piling up. London was slowly disappearing. There seemed to be no way forward. It was a story about gravity and awareness. About mothers and sons. About ambition, attention and corruption. About fulfilling ones potential. About what it meant to look into someone’s eyes and dare to be intimate. What it meant to want to preserve something for future generations, when everything was covering up in snow.
