Unos días antes de Navidad, cerca de un cruce fronterizo en la reserva Mohawk entre EE.UU. y Canadá, dos mujeres se ven atraídas hacia el mundo del contrabando a través de las heladas aguas del río St. Lawrence.

With over two decades as a supporting character actor behind her, the brilliant Melissa Leo took the lead in this reservation thriller, earning her first Oscar® nod. An impressive debut that hums with tension, Courtney Hunt’s Frozen River is an authentic, desolate look at life on the poverty line.
