What The Snow Society is about
In 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which had been chartered to take a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes. Only 29 of its 45 passengers survived the accident. Trapped in one of the most hostile and inaccessible environments on the planet, they will have to resort to extreme measures to stay alive.
The film is based on the book The Snow Society by Pablo Vierci. The script is written by JA Bayona, Bernat Vilaplana, Jaime Marques and Nicolás Casariego.
The cast is made up of: Enzo Vogrincic Roldán, Matías Recalt, Agustín Pardella, Tomas Wolf, Diego Ariel Vegezzi, Esteban Kukuriczka, Francisco Romero, Rafael Federman, Felipe González Otaño, Agustín Della Corte, Valentino Alonso, Simón Hempe, Fernando Contigiani García, Benjamín Segura, Jerónimo Bosia.
Filming took place in Sierra Nevada (Andalusia), Montevideo (Uruguay) and in different locations in the Andes (both in Chile and Argentina) including The Valley of Tears, the real location where the story took place.
