off to see the world, Father
Frost and Mother Spring
warn her never to fall in
love, lest she lose her
immortality.
She journeys alone through
many lands, keeping her
heart cold, but finds herself
drawn to a kind and
handsome young shepherd
named Sergei. The Snow
Princess begins to fall in love
with him, but her parents’
warning haunts her dreams,
and she must finally decide
her own fate in the chaos of
a powerful snowstorm that
threatens Sergei’s life.
