SYNOPSIS

Khrystia is a young Ukrainian girl, who wants to commit suicide, because of a breakup with the love of her life. She is going to drown in an ice-hole, but a local Fisherman saves her. It is his ice-hole, and he is fishing here, but it does not stop the girl. Fisherman decides to help her to commit suicide. Khrystia is shocked by his actions, but then she understands that he is just teasing her. She becomes angry and decides to prove her seriousness. But when the girl finds herself alone with her new ice-hole, a shocking reflection in the water stops her.

INTENTION

Ice-Hole is a story about loneliness and its perception. The main character Khrystia is afraid of loneliness, because it is the first time she experiences it. It seems impossible for her to keep living, but meeting with a hermit Fisherman, to whom loneliness is life itself, offers her the opportunity to look at the problem from a different perspective. It is important for me to debut with a film on this subject, because loneliness is one of the stages of growing up, which I have experienced and want to share. To be alone with ourselves for the first time is scary enough, some people have been running away from this meeting their whole life. With this film I want to inspire the audience to rethink how they feel about loneliness, because, in fact, it can be a source of positive changes.

Also, I want to make sad people laugh. I hope that with Ice-Hole they can laugh at their fears and absurd behavior. So their problems will not be so hard anymore.
