Snow 2: Brain Freeze

Set during the contemporary holiday season, the plot unfolds around Christmas Eve with a clock-ticking urgency. Memory loss, abduction threats, and magical portals intersect with festive traditions, creating a sense of time looping between past and present. The Christmas backdrop frames personal quests for identity and belonging within a brisk, current-day setting.

The story moves from the North Pole’s magical workshop to ordinary spaces like a hospital and a snowy garage, highlighting the contrast between Christmas magic and real-world vulnerability. A journey through Bolivia via a train station backdrop introduces movement and danger, while the old Caribou Club venue provides a festive yet mysterious staging ground for reveals and reunions. These locations blend holiday enchantment with tangible stakes, driving the characters toward memory, family, and the restoration of Christmas.
