Colder than ice, her kiss pierces the heart...
The 1970s. Runaway Jeanne (Clara Pacini) falls under the spell of Cristina (Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard), 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.
The fourth feature by Lucile Hadžihalilović, The Ice Tower is a dark, richly textured and deeply moving modern fairy tale on longing and solitude, which premiered in competition at this year’s Berlin Film Festival where it won the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution.
