Ice Mother is the story of warmhearted yet modest Hana who lives alone in her old family house without changing a thing ever since her husband died a few years ago. She sometimes needs a helping hand but both her sons are too busy and too selfish to notice. Unexpectedly Hana finds a helpful hand in Bronia and they become lovers. Hana valiantly decides that it is time she stood up for her own good and she starts to change her life. But when she discovers that the straightforward Bronia has a dark secret, she is once again forced to decide what she really wants in life.
The acclaimed Slovak actress Zuzana Kronerova and Czech actor Pavel Nový play the main roles.
