the winter that faded with the trees

The village of Winterlund in northern Sweden is facing the worst crisis in its history: four weeks without snow—their only source of clean water. Marine and Allan, two determined teenagers, do everything they can to seek help, even creating a video that goes viral and captures national attention. Just as hope begins to rise, Marine uncovers a devastating truth behind the village’s sudden warmth: a secret project that has been clearing the pine forest and altering the local climate. Even worse, the project is led by someone she never expected—Allan’s father.

The revelation shatters trust, ignites conflict, and puts their friendship on the edge of collapse. Meanwhile, massive trucks begin climbing Are Hill, and the distant wail of sirens signals that something far bigger is coming—something no one in Winterlund is ready to face.

With their home on the brink of disaster and no clear answers in sight, Winterlund stands suspended between hope and ruin… waiting for what happens next.
