Set against the backdrop of a small town grappling with tragedy, "Frozen" tells the emotionally charged story of Kath Swarbrick, a determined young woman portrayed by the talented Shirley Henderson. It's been two years since the mysterious disappearance of her older sister, Annie, and the unresolved case continues to cast a shadow over Kath's life. Despite the efforts of local law enforcement and the fading hope of her community, Kath’s desperation for answers drives her to embark on a relentless quest for the truth. With the police investigation losing momentum and the town slowly moving on, Kath refuses to let go of the memory of her sister, embodying a blend of grief and determination that resonates deeply with viewers.
Kath's journey takes an unexpected turn when she manages to steal some crucial CCTV footage that captures Annie on her last known day. This pivotal moment serves as a catalyst for Kath, reigniting her hope and motivating her to revisit the places that mattered in her sister’s life. As she retraces Annie's steps, Kath stumbles upon a spot that is seemingly ordinary but soon becomes extraordinary; it is here that she believes she has discovered a portal to another reality. This revelation not only enhances the gripping narrative but also raises the stakes significantly for Kath, as she becomes convinced that this portal holds the key to unlocking the secrets surrounding her sister's disappearance.
From this point on, the film delves into themes of exploration, the boundaries of reality, and the strength of familial bonds. Kath’s experiences at the portal lead her to hear whispers that suggest her sister may be trying to communicate with her from beyond. As the line between reality and fantasy blurs, Kath must confront her fears and navigate the emotional landscape of hope, loss, and the pursuit of closure. With Roshan Seth playing Noyen, who offers guidance and wisdom along Kath's harrowing yet inspiring journey, "Frozen" ultimately explores the lengths one will go to reclaim the ones they love and the bittersweet nature of unresolved mysteries.
