Synopsis

A beautiful woman made of ice known as the Snow Maiden, comes down from the mountains to interact with the simple villagers in a small village in the Alps. When she falls for one of the villagers, the Ice King (a huge monster of living ice and snow) causes an avalanche destroying her and the entire village. In the present day sculptor Gil finds her ice heart in the wreckage of the village and brings her back to life by sculpting her a new body out of ice. The Ice King senses her alive and comes to America to destroy her and Gil.
