A Frozen Flower
“For his last love, fate led him to betray his first love.”
Drama
A despotic king orders his male lover to produce an heir for him with his Queen. But when they instead fall in love, will tragic consequences follow?
VIBE
A visually stunning, operatic tragedy. This film feels like a slow-burn descent into a gilded cage of duty and forbidden desire. Expect intense emotional turmoil, stark beauty, and a lingering sense of doom.
