Based on the famous fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, this adaptation is fairly faithful to the original. Portraying the sinister tones of old fairy tales in a dream-like or theatrical style, this surreal film focuses mainly on the young girl Kerttu’s journey to rescue her brother Kai from the evil Snow Queen. Kerttu travels through beautiful and hostile lands, meeting various strange and threatening characters on the way – befriended and helped by some, waylaid and trapped by others. In the classic style of such tales her journey is episodic, punctuated with scenes of events unfolding at the Snow Queen’s palace.

The film is an extract from the Gypsies’ way of living, dedicated to the celebration of the “St. George’s Day” holiday. The theme of the film deals with the contrasts of the contemporary urban processes. Also, the film expresses a many-sided iconography as a source for incarnation of the romantic comprehension of life, without any obstacles. The balladic atmosphere conjures up the reminiscences of the distant myths. This poetic vision on the life of the last nomads is shot in the authentic milieu of Gypsies’ camp shortly before the celebration of their greatest holiday.
