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 Anderson 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.
A richly textured and deeply moving tale of longing and solitude, this dark and mesmerising modern fairytale makes a highly original and alternative festive choice this Christmas.

“Two outstanding lead performances… a mesmeric melodrama, mixing sensuality with a teetering anxiety.”
