Colder than ice, her kiss pierces the heart... A richly textured and deeply moving tale of longing and solitude, this is a dark and mesmerising modern fairy tale. The fourth feature by Lucile Hadžihalilović is set in the 1970s. Runaway Jeanne falls under the spell of Cristina, enigmatic star of The Snow Queen, a film of the Hans Christian Andersen story being shot in the studio where Jeanne has taken refuge. A mutual but potentially dangerous fascination begins to grow between the actress and the girl.
