Contents. Plot On a cold afternoon, with snow on the ground, a high school band in a small town is practicing for the season’s last football game, when they hear gunshots. The film abruptly flashes back to a few weeks before, to a Chinese restaurant that employs a high school boy named Arthur, his ex-babysitter, Annie, and her best friend, Barb. Arthur, who's a bit of a misfit, has a troubled home life caused by his constantly clashing parents, both of whom often forget about him.
Snow Angel Episode 1 雪天使 Watch Full Episodes Free Taiwan TV Shows. Since you've watched a lot of Chinese dramas, I'm trying to find the drama that I watched back in early 2000s (around the same time as Madame White Snake I think). This is a period drama but not with the Kings/ queens, just sword fighters or whatever you call them. And I remember there being a lot of scenes in the snow and the mountains.
Annie's life isn't faring much better: she's dealing with her ill mother, is separated from her husband, Glenn, and is now raising their young daughter, Tara, on her own. Glenn is now on the wagon and becoming a born-again Christian in order to prove that he is responsible enough to spend time with Tara. Depressed and lonely, Annie is having an affair with Barb's husband, Nate, which eventually serves to only make her unhappier, as she feels great guilt over betraying her best friend. Desperate to prove himself and still harboring deep feelings for his estranged wife (whom he suspects is seeing someone), Glenn gets a new job and spends as much time as possible with Tara. Meanwhile, Arthur finds himself growing close to Lila, a new student at the high school who has a knack for photography. The film focuses heavily on how people's lives can cross in a small town, especially when Tara wanders out of the house and goes missing while Annie, having just lost her best friend over the affair and suffering from a bad cold, falls asleep on the couch. The whole town spends hours desperately searching for Tara, before Arthur finds her body while smoking pot with his friend.
To everyone’s horror, Tara fell into open freezing water at the edge of the lake while playing, drowned, then the open water froze over her. This turn of events leads to Glenn and Annie having complete breakdowns, which results in her going with him into the snow-covered woods, where she placidly kneels before his shotgun, ending with their murder-suicide.
