Short description

Sisters Maria and Anastasia are best friends, and they cope not only with a grumpy mother, but also with ancient magic, because of which winter has not come in their village for many decades. The girls manage to overcome all obstacles, drive away the evil witch, melt the heart of the Lord of Cold, and also find love.

What's left behind the scenes

Sets were constructed for Morozko's terem, a magical glade by a giant oak, and a fairground square. On-location filming took place near the Karelian town of Pitkyaranta, at the historic site of Pogrankondushi, where the border between Finland, Sweden, and Russia once ran.
Filming took place in the Moscow region, Karelia, and the Leningrad and Lipetsk regions. Locations included the historic settlement of Bolshaya Selga, the tourist village of Mandrogi, Ruskeala Mountain Park, and the Kudykina Gora nature park of wonders.
