Fiction. SWEET SNOW is set in the winter of 1933 in Ukraine. A
terrible famine is raging in the countryside, while the Soviet
secret police is arresting suspected spies in the cities. A German
nobleman from Berlin, a Jewish communist from New York, a Polish
diplomat from Lwow, and a Ukrainian nationalist from Vienna come to
share a cell in some unknown prison. One day, as they are being
transported to another prison, their van overturns, their guards
are killed, and they are freed--to wander amidst the devastated
villages, desolate landscapes, snowbound villages, and frozen
corpses. As they struggle to survive, they come to grips with the
horror of the famine as well as with their own delusions,
weaknesses, and mortality.
