Schnee, der auf Zedern fällt

What begins as a quiet murder mystery slowly coats the town in something heavier than snow. A Japanese-American fisherman stands trial for killing his neighbor, forcing a former flame of a local reporter to resurface. The hushed proceedings turn out to be less about justice than a town deciding what it can bear to remember.
