    • Synopsis
    • Bringing humour, grit, and pure joy to the rink, “Ice Aged” follows six senior men and women from around the world as they pursue their childhood dreams of competitive figure skating. From local ice rinks to the grand stage at the World Hobby Figure Skating Championships in Bavaria, their inspiring journey defies age and expectations. Beautifully filmed over nearly three years, the cameras capture every tear, cheer, and broken bone as these skaters pursue their dreams. Not even a global pandemic can stop them from pushing forward in this fairytale on ice.
      “Ice Aged” is a powerful battle cry against the inevitability of ageing and society’s glorification of youth, showcasing men and women who refuse to surrender to time, proving that the pursuit of happiness has no expiration date.
