- Synopsis
- QUEEN OF ICE is the true story of one of the world’s greatest athletes and the inventor of modern
  figure skating, who decides to go to Hollywood in 1936 to become a movie star. Her first film breaks
  the box office by selling the most tickets in the world in 1937. She becomes one of the richest women
  in her time, always surrounded by fans, lovers and family, never alone. As she gets older the spotlight
  is fading, but she refuses to quit. And it all collapses when she falls, drunk on the slushy ice, in Rio de
  Janeiro. QUEEN OF ICE is the story of a remarkable, iconic person who sacrificed everything to stay
  in the spotlight.
