Queen without land

SynopsisThis is the true story of the meeting between Frost, a beautiful polar bear mother, and Asgeir Helgestad, the filmmaker. Rising temperatures are responsible for dramatic changes in Frost's ecosystem as the ice is melting at record speed. From complete darkness to the absolute light of the midnight sun, Svalbard transforms from a cold and inhospitable place to the most joyous and lively scene for ice algae, fish, birds and animals. Fjords that were once full of ice and seals get abandoned pushing Frost further away. This film explores the question ""this planet is home to all of us, can we afford to ignore it?""
