New Showbiz Analysis

Snow Treasure is a traditional period adventure that centers on a clear moral struggle rather than exploring diverse identities. The narrative focuses on a Norwegian resistance movement, resulting in a homogeneous cast and a lack of racial diversity. While the film includes both boys and girls, it adheres to the social norms of the late 1960s without challenging traditional gender roles. Ultimately, the film is a straightforward wartime tale that relies on established historical archetypes and a narrow cultural perspective.

Official Synopsis

It is 1940 in Norway, a neutral, peace-loving country that is invaded by Nazi Germany. A gang of Norwegian children do what Norwegian children like best - ski. They are actually rescuing Norwegian gold from the nazi invaders. The Nazis search all adults but don't suspect children playing. The children carry the gold, one bar at a time, across the mountains to a fishing boat. It is a race against time, it is spring and the snow is melting. So they ski from dawn to dusk every day.
