Kay & Gerda, two young children, are the best of friends. Then, one day,
disaster strikes. A splinter of glass from a magic looking-glass
pierces Kay's eye and heart. As it works its evil magic, the world
becomes twisted and ugly to him. Once, happy and loving, he becomes
cold and spiteful. Then, on a stormy night, the Snow Queen takes him
away, turning his heart to a lump of ice and imprisoning him in her
frozen Palace in the North.
