ICE MOTHER

1h 45m
67-year old Hana is the good soul of her family. Every
week her sons come over with their wives and children for
their family dinner. It is a family tradition not to be changed.
Selfless, Hana takes care of the little Ivánek, who is not really
cherishing his grandma’s help. She also supports her other
son with money everytime he asks for it – and he asks a lot. A
warmhearted yet modest person, Hana continues to live alone
in the old family house without changing a thing ever since
her husband died a few years ago. She might need a helping
hand but both her sons are too busy and too selfish to see it.
One day, while Hana is looking for Ivánek who sneaked
out, she finds a man, Broňa, floating at the riverside, unable to
move. She jumps in and helps him to get out of the icy water.
Hana gets to know his elderly friends and suddenly she is
included in a new social circle. Even little Ivánek is interested
in the funny quirky group of ice swimmers.
Light-hearted Broňa, who lives in an old camper bus near
the river, inspires Hana’s lust for life. They become lovers,
but when she introduces him to her sons, the whole family is
shocked. In a series of events and dark secrets, Hana has to
stand up and start changing her life.
