Hat Contest
Video
A scattered family has gathered at a ski lodge for a getaway. On the second night, the family attend a play about quilts in the Grand Hall, featuring a son in the slammer for a crime that resulted in his younger brother’s death.
After the play the group engages in night hunting and kill a deer. The following day the group have a contest to see who can make the best hat. The winning hat expands upward, high into the sky, infinitely, taller and taller.
After the contest the group follow an aerial photograph like a map and hike to the river, only to discover it has long since been dammed and is now emeralds flourish, some fear it is kryptonite in the stagnant water.
