First Winter	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })First Winter is a 1981 short film (27 minutes) directed by John N. Smith, produced by the National Film Board of Canada.The time setting is 1830. A family of Irish immigrants, fleeing starvation and poverty in Ireland, have planted roots in an isolated area of the Ottawa River valley. As the film starts, the father is absent, having traveled downriver to earn cash working in a logging camp. The mother and the children—teenaged Máire and considerably younger Tomás—struggle to make it through the winter, eating their stored food and chopping up the trees that the father felled for firewood. It's a hard, perilous life that gets even harder when the mother falls ill.

First Winter / int_11b2e74f	comment	An Immigrant's Tale: A family of Irish immigrants, struggling to survive their first winter in the frozen Canadian wilderness. They insist on holding on to their traditions despite being alone in a new land. When the mother dies, Máire forces Tomás to smoke tobacco, because that's traditional mourning for men, and there are no other men around to smoke.

First Winter / int_82fc5bdf	comment	Bratty Half-Pint: Tomás. At first he's just lazy, singing and playing while his mother and sister are chopping wood. After the mother dies he retreats farther into this persona, refusing to help when Máire asks him, saying that they're all going to die. After she tells him their story as a fairy tale where he's the hero, he snaps out of it, determinedly chopping trees.
