The Frozen RIver

Three strong women make their way in 1950s Canada 

English hairdresser, Ethel, is alone after the deaths of her family and her wartime fiancé. Widow and single mother, Alice, bringing up two daughters, receives an unexpected inheritance that will transform her life. War bride, Joan, is mother to three small children with a fourth on the way and money in short supply. All are brought together in a rural Canadian town where they each try to build a future – often in spite of the men in their lives. 

Each woman has a different idea of happiness. Will any or all of them achieve it?
