What the Snow Brings

Yazaki Manabu lost his business and wife in Tokyo after the dot-com crash. He returns to his hometown in Hokkaido during the middle of winter. Manabu then takes the advice of a man and bets everything he has on a horse named Unryu. The horse loses. With nowhere else to go Manabu turns to his older brother Takeo who runs a horse stable and trains Unryu. Takeo, sensing his brother's troubles, reluctantly allows his younger brother to stay, but only if he takes up a job at the stable.
