After the Snowmelt is a coming-of-age tale that delves into how youth grapple
with their first experience of profound loss.
On the threshold of adulthood, Yi-Shan’s (director) best friend in high school,
Chun, went trekking in Nepal with his boyfriend, Yueh, and promised to reunite
with her there. However, she lost contact with them and didn’t hear from them
until two months later: they’d been trapped in a cave for 47 days due to
unseasonable snowfall. Chun passed away three days before the rescue, leaving
Yueh as the sole survivor.

Yueh returns and reveals a promise made between him and Chun: whoever
survived had to share their story. To honor Chun’s last wish, Yi-Shan takes up the
camera and accompanies Yueh to the mountains to ask him about what
happened in the cave. However, Yueh withdraws into silence, prompting her to
retrace the journey she and Chun promised to take together in Nepal.
Along her way, local villagers in Nepal share memories of Chun and Yueh.
Gradually, her journey overlaps with theirs, blurring the boundary between past
and present, and finally converges at the same destination. In the snowmelt
season, some things resurface while others vanish forever. When Yi-Shan
reaches the cave, she must confront the future alone.
