Synopsis

In the 1970s, Jeanne, a teenage orphan, runs away from her village in the mountains and takes refuge in a shelter where an adaptation of The Snow Queen is being filmed. There, she meets Cristina, the charismatic star of the film, who takes her under her wing. The relationship between the two of them will grow more and more intense, trapping Jeanne in a web of power and desire. A dark fairy tale about fascination, identity, and the price of admiration.
