Jeanne (Clara Pacini), a 15-year-old runaway orphan, witnesses the shoot for a film adaptation of the fairy tale The Snow Queen and becomes fascinated by its star, Cristina (Marion Cotillard), an actress who is just as mysterious and alluring as the Queen she is playing. When her fascination becomes all consuming, Jeanne cons her way in front of the camera, doing anything she can to get closer to the object of her desire. Using the Hans Christian Andersen story as backdrop, Lucile Hadzihalilovic (Innocence) gives us a clever coming of age story set in a wintry 1970s dreamworld.
