Synopsis

Fiona is the manager of a fast-food restaurant. She lives with her family in the suburbs. In a few words, Fiona is happy. Until one day Fiona gets accidentally locked into a walk-in fridge while closing up. She gets out in the morning, half frozen and barely alive, only to realize that her husband and two children didn't even notice she was missing. Little by little, Fiona develops an obsession for everything cold and icy: snow, polar bears, fridges, icebergs, and one day she drops everything, climbs into a frozen goods delivery truck and leaves home. She wants to see a real iceberg. Who has never dreamt of dropping everything and starting over, of making a wish come true or of just going somewhere else to see what it's like from there? Fiona takes the plunge, unsettling the lives of those around her as she goes.
