THE SNOW QUEEN
by Marko Raat
synopsis
A wintry fairytale for adults based on the motifs of H. C. Andersen’s fairytale. A woman living in an ice castle lures a boy to her. He becomes so spellbound by the woman and her land of ice that he forgets the real world. The woman hides the secret of why she is living in the cold from the boy. The question remained unanswered: what did the boy and the Snow Queen do in the ice castle for all of the time the girl spent looking for the boy? This film talks about what Andersen didn’t.
