Icewind

The Ice Wind tells the story of two mismatched girls growing up on a 1940s Berlin housing estate. They experience the cruelty of the times through their very own eyes. The children live out their fantasy world in a kind of “magic world” that they have set up in their own basement. An important role is played by the red magic cloak, which the children include in their play as a central prop and which ultimately leads to a mix-up. But the story only seems to take a happy turn.
