Thin Ice

Details

May 1940: German forces are victorious across Europe. In a remote Greenland hut Daniel sits calmly, frozen solid. As Richard and Laura arrive too late to rescue him, the mystery of Daniel's death is both fascinating and disturbing. But as his body thaws, long-buried secrets surface, threatening Richard and Laura's marriage, scientific beliefs and very survival itself. A wartime thriller and love story, Thin Ice cuts between Greenland and Britain with cinematic flair - weaving a powerful story of people struggling to survive both Arctic conditions and the nightmare of history. Darkly comic and resonant for today, Thin Ice is a powerful and touching exploration of people finding courage in the face of adversity. Thin Ice is inspired by the extraordinary true story of the 'weather war' in which the British and Germans fought over Arctic bases, allowing them to predict European weather patterns.
