Colder than ice, her kiss pierces the heart…

The 1970s. Drawn by the lights of the city in the valley below, 15-year-old orphan Jeanne (Clara Pacini) runs away from a children’s home high in the mountains. She takes refuge in a film studio which she secretly explores at night.

By day, the film The Snow Queen is being shot there, starring the enigmatic Cristina (Marion Cotillard) in the title role. Jeanne falls instantly under the spell of the beautiful, tormented star, and a mutual fascination develops between the actor and the girl.

Little by little, Jeanne starts to play an increasingly important role in the shoot. As her obsession with the Snow Queen’s realm grows, between set and screen, film and reality merge in a magical, labyrinthine game. But there is a price to pay. Does Jeanne love the Snow Queen enough to make the sacrifice she demands?
