April and Francis meet in the final year of secondary school. The two find themselves drawn to one another; their magnetic connection ignites with an unspoken intensity. But as their relationship develops, their deepest secrets threaten to surface. When it Snows in April is an intimate and poignant take on first loves and the journey of finding oneself.
