On a mountain so high that the ice never melts, a mysterious Snow Dragon lives.  Sleet falls when he flies, and his breath is a dagger of ice.  But to one girl, found in the snow as a baby and forever different from those around her, Snow Dragon calls with the voice of a friend.  When the Fire Dragon erupts from the belly of the earth, can Snow Dragon save his human friend... or must she save him?     Directed by Gay H.
