The Snow Queen (Russian: Снежная королева, romanized: Snezhnaya koroleva) is a Soviet 1967 fantasy drama film, directed by Gennadi Kazansky and based on the eponymous 1844 fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen.

A sinister Counselor, an agent of the Snow Queen, visits their home to demand the rare blooming roses gifted by the storyteller, intending to sell them for profit.

Mistaking the prince for Kay, Gerda is disappointed but gains the royal couple’s support, including a golden carriage and warm clothing for her journey.

The reindeer takes Gerda to the Snow Queen’s palace, where she finds Kay frozen and emotionless, attempting to complete a puzzle with shards of ice spelling the word "Eternity."

Through her love and warm memories of their shared past, Gerda melts the ice in Kay’s heart, freeing him from the Snow Queen’s spell.
