Reviews
- "Love for people turns a snowflake into a girl. Princely intrigues drive her back into the realm of eternal ice, from which it only redeems the love of a potter. Strictly committed to tradition, based on relevant clichés, a film adaptation of a Russian folk tale. " - Lexicon of international film
