In Northern Finland, there is still a piece of forest with a microclimate that resembles the winter landscape of childhood memories. Snowplay lures a poet to explore the sensual energy of nature. Sensations emerge in the touch of snow that defy the idea of the human individual separate from the rest of nature. Yet the love between the human and the disappearing snow is full of complexities.
