David has spent his whole life isolated in an endless winter, believed to be the source of his kingdom's curse—until his new stepsiblings decide to solve the problem by getting rid of him. On the run and desperate, he finds unexpected warmth in Alec, a kindhearted miner whose gruff exterior hides something that makes David feel truly seen for the first time. What starts as a refuge becomes something neither of them expected, but in a fairy tale, happy endings rarely come without a cost. This lush retelling weaves together all the classic elements—dark family secrets, forbidden connection, and the question of whether love can truly break a curse.

Ethereal and melancholic, with haunting orchestral arrangements and indie folk whispers. Think Bon Iver's isolation, Florence + The Machine's drama, and Sigur Rós's otherworldly sadness. Layer in cinematic strings and sparse piano. Capture the ache of loneliness and the quiet magic of cursed winter—beautiful, cold, and inescapable.
