Palm Trees in the Snow (Spanish: Palmeras en la nieve) is a 2015 Spanish romantic drama film directed by Fernando González Molina. The screenplay is based on the novel of the same name, Palmeras en la nieve, by Luz Gabás.
Kilian is a young man from the mountains of Huesca who, in 1954, returns to the island of Fernando Pó (present Bioko), where he was born. He joins his father Antón and his brother Jacobo. As a family they are some of the Spanish colonialists who raise cocoa.
In 2003, Clarence discovers a hidden letter that reveals a hint about her father Jacobo's and uncle Kilian's past and sets out to discover what was concealed behind that journey to the former Spanish Guinea.
The film was shot in the Canary Islands, Huesca and Colombia.
