The life of the colony brought up cruelty, fearlessness, cynical, evil contempt for weakness in the girl. One day she sets fire to the punishment cell and escapes from the colony.

Lumikuningatar / The Snow Queen. 1986. HD.

 FI. H.C. Andersenin samannimiseen teokseen perustuva elokuva kertoo Kertun matkasta Kain luokse lumoavan Lumikuningattaren valtakuntaan. Lumikuningatar hamuaa viimeistä Vihreää Kiveä kruunuunsa voidakseen hallita koko maailmaa, mutta hän voi saavuttaa herruuden vasta Kain avustuksella. Ystävästään huolestunut Kerttu lähtee pitkälle ja vaarojen täyteiselle matkalle, löytääkseen ystävänsä tykö ja viedäkseen tämän takaisin kotiin. Kertun tarina muuttuu nuoren tytön kasvutarinaksi ja matkaksi aikuisuuteen.
Hartzellin ohjaama ja käsikirjoittama Lumikuningatar oli aikanaan poikkeuksellisen suuri tuotanto, kokonaiskustannusten noustessa yli 6 miljoonaan markkaan. Elokuva voitti Jussi-palkinnon parhaasta visuaalisesta suunnittelusta (Reija Hirvikoski) ja musiikista (Jukka Linkola), ja elokuva valittiin myös Suomen Oscar-ehdokkaaksi.
EN. The Snow Queen (Finnish: Lumikuningatar) is a 1986 Finnish fantasy film directed by Päivi Hartzell. The film was selected as the Finnish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 60th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
In this adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's longest story, the beautiful Snow Queen has captured two children and now keeps them apart. She has inserted a sliver of her own special ice into the eye of the boy, so that his heart will turn to ice and will be a proper match for hers. The boy's sister, meanwhile, has won free and attempts to find her brother. When she does, the warmth of her love for him melts his frozen heart and defeats the Snow Queen decisively.
Director: Päivi Hartzell.
