Snowmen and women shows the meltdown of a sneman family.
The snowmen are filmed from the point where they stand freshly prepared and intact until they are melted and disappeared. During the video they lose the noses, the eyes are rolling off, heads are falling down, and slowly they melt down to nothing, just hats, mittens and scarves are back. Through cinematic forms like close ups and camera pans the video  build up a suspence that introduces  you to identify yourself with snowmen tragedy. In a trite way the plot of the snowman family gives the spectator the opportunity to reflect on the reality, we are a part of and invite the spectators to link pseudo-psychological considerations together with global clima perspectives.
