Schnee von gestern

About This Movie

So, 'Schnee von gestern' is this curious little animated short from '99 that really makes you think. It’s about snowmen, but not in a typical way. During choir practice, they get all worked up over some lyrics, which spirals into this bizarre yet fascinating discussion connecting things like body odor to the 1974 World Cup. The tone is kind of whimsical but also digs deep into absurdity. The pacing is spot-on, mixing quick quips with these moments that just hang in the air. The animation itself isn't flashy, but it has a charm that makes it distinctive. You really get a sense of atmosphere, and it’s intriguing how they use humor to tackle larger themes, even if it’s done in a roundabout way.
