synopsis

Fiona is the manager of a fast food restaurant. One night she accidentally gets locked in the cold store. After a long and freezing night she finally gets out only to realise that her husband and children didn't even notice she was missing. Little by little, in the after-shock of this traumatic event, Fiona develops an obsession for all things cold and icy: snow, polar bears, fridges... and decides to go on a quest to find a real iceberg. A poetic and funny movie about the clumsiness of modern day lost souls running after the illusions of another life.
Fiona est la patronne d'un restaurant fast-food. Une nuit, elle est accidentellement enfermée dans la chambre froide. Après une nuit longue et glaciale, elle sort finalement pour se rendre compte que son mari et ses enfants n'ont pas remarqué son absence. Petit à petit, dans le contrecoup de cet événement traumatisant, Fiona développe une obsession pour tout ce qui est froid et gelé : la neige, les ours polaires, les frigidaires... et décide de partir à la recherche d'un vrai iceberg. Un film drôle et poétique sur la gaucherie des âmes perdues des temps modernes courant après les illusions d'une autre vie.
