Ice

On a contemporary Russia, Nadya shelves her dream of becoming a top figure skater after a serious injury lands her in hospital. Her world narrows to rehab, doubt, and the ache of what might have been. When Sasha, a practical, blunt hockey player, enters her orbit, he refuses the pity and instead pushes her to redefine limits. Through rough humor, unlikely teamwork, and shared moments on and off the ice, she begins to rebuild her confidence and test what she is really capable of. The film tracks a collision of two athletes from different disciplines who discover resilience, friendship, and a rekindled hope for a life beyond the rink.

Ice was directed by Oleg Trofim and released in 2018. It features Aglaya Tarasova as Nadya with a screenplay by Alina Tyazhlova, Andrey Zolotarev, and Oleg Malovichko.
