Based on Stewart O'Nan's novel, Snow Angels chronicles three couples, their relationships in various stages of decline, as their lives overlap and intersect in a small town. A separated couple is torn further apart by tragedy, while a young man experiences first love as he navigates the fallout from his parents' divorce. Green sympathetically presents a group of often unsympathetic, flawed characters as they struggle toward emotional maturity, imbuing their actions with a touching humanity that counters the film's dark subject matter.
