Marin, a girl in her first year of college in New York, chooses to stay alone in the dormitory during the winter holidays, avoiding returning to California after the sudden death of her grandfather, her only relative she had left. The pain and a secret she discovered about her grandfather's past pushed her to cut all ties, even with Mabel, her best friend and maybe something more. When Mabel shows up by surprise to try to understand her and reconnect, the two confront themselves between silences, memories, wounds never healed and unspoken words. As the snow falls and the external frost mirrors Marin's inner one, the distances between them slowly dissolve. In the end, in a symbolic moment on the edge of a frozen lake, Marin breaks the silence and the ice together, accepting the pain, the love and the chance to start over.
