The film is based on the novel written by Alena Mornštajnova. So far the novel has been published in 13 European countries. The story is about three generations of women struggling for a better life.
It’s 1954 and nine-year-old Mira goes to the river to ride the floating ice, something her parents have forbidden her to do. She falls into the water, thus exposing her disobedience. As a punishment, she is given no dessert at the family party. This innocent childhood episode marks a major turning point in Mira’s life. It is followed by a tragedy that for many years binds her to her taciturn, depressive aunt Hana and reveals a troubled family history that will continue to float like a block of ice in the current of her life.
