Wintuk Official Site: Wintuk is an enchanting winter tale about a young boy, Jamie, and his quest to find snow. The boy lives in a city where the arrival of winter has brought long shadows and intense cold – but no snow!
He interacts with a cast of high-energy urban street characters, including acrobats, dancers and giant marionettes. But as the snow fails to come, he embarks on a journey to an imaginary Nordic world called Wintuk with three companions—a female Shaman who's lost in the city, a timid young man called Wimpy destined to discover his courage, and the shadow of a young girl—to find the snow and bring it back to where it belongs.
Bursting with the energy of the city and the broad sweep of nature, Wintuk weaves thrilling acrobatics, dazzling oversized marionettes, breathtaking theatrical effects and memorable songs together in a touching story line that resonates with the whole family.
