As the title of this short documentary suggests, we find ourselves in a snow-covered village in the depths of winter, where a primary school stands next to a cemetery. The harsh weather conditions are not the only challenge faced by the children striving to get an education in this remote school. Despite these obstacles, they continue to hold on to life with the help of an idealistic teacher and their unwavering determination.
