SYNOPSIS
'She was close to the edge now: the ice
laid its hand upon her'
The schoolchildren call it the Ice
Palace: a frozen waterfall in the Norwegian fjords transformed into a fantastic
structure of translucent walls, sparkling towers and secret chambers. It
fascinates two young girls, lonely Unn and lively Siss, who strike up an
intense friendship. When Unn decides to explore the Ice Palace alone and
doesn't return, Siss must try to cope with the loss of her friend without
succumbing to a frozen world of her own making.
