Hans Christian Andersen

Die Schneekönigin

Christmas story

Once upon a time there were two children, Gerda and Kay, living a carefree and joy-filled life. Their bond of friendship seems to be unbreakable. Then one day Kay gets hit by the splinters of a magic mirror and becomes rude and offensive. Winter comes and Kay falls for the beautiful-but-cold-hearted Snow Queen, and follows her to her ice castle, where Kay forgets about his former life, including Gerda. But Gerda won’t forget Kay...

Follow little Gerda on her adventurous journey to the hidden Snow Kingdom, determined to bring back Kay and melt his frozen heart. Andersen’s classic fairytale for the whole family tells a magical story about the power of friendship, love and the timeless struggle between good and evil.
