FROST
On the night of a major memorial concert, a young Syrian man struggles with the choice between visibility and safety, while his Ukrainian girlfriend prepares to step onto the stage. FROST is a poetic and layered story about love, loss, and the courage to be seen.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
We are making FROST in close collaboration with real refugees and local professionals, not only to ensure authenticity, but also to actively contribute to new opportunities, social cohesion, and mutual understanding.
In a time when displacement and polarization dominate the headlines, we believe it is more urgent than ever to tell a deeply human story — one that feels real, intimate, and emotionally grounded.
