Synopsis
Fiona is the manager of a fast-food restaurant who accidentally spends a night locked in a big freezer. After getting free in the morning, she was unpleasantly surprised to learn that neither her husband nor her children had noticed that she was gone. Gradually, Fiona begins to nourish a very special obsession with everything cold or frozen, with snow, icebergs, polar bears, fridges and freezers. Eventually, she decides to set on an adventure of finding a real iceberg. And there she is! On the big heavy sea in a little boat she shares with a giant deaf sailor, while her husband is looking for her like a madman.
