Full Synopsis
MELT is a film about snow and ice, which will soon no longer exist.
Climate change is melting the poles and the glaciers.
MELT is a film about life and research in snow and ice, about changing landscapes and lost homelands.
MELT is a film about the present and yet it also fulfills a historical dimension: future generations will perhaps only hear about the eternal ice from films like this one.
