In a snowbound morning two elderly Winter People, Ettare and Peleas, witness a kitchen maid Mary and a young worker find happiness through a playful attic fountain fantasy. A hospital visit, a stalled romance, and a costumes-laden school play lead to Mary's revelation that her husband is the one she longs for, culminating in a sunlit fountain moment and a renewed sense that spring remains somewhere about.
