Outline

This is the story of a boy who travels with a snowman to a snowy land to see shooting stars. Aside from directing live-action television commercials, director YASHIRO Takeshi also produces stop-action animation lms. Like the lm of the same title released in 2013, YASHI- RO produced this lm for use in planetariums, and uses snow elds made of salt and framing tailored to dome-shaped ceilings to create a unique cinematic world.
