Icebreaker – 2024

When the night gets longer, death gets closer - 6 x 45'

Scripted

Mayday, mayday.

An icebreaker is stranded in a winter storm. A rescue team finds a group of survivors – and a frozen body tied to an air vent. Coast Guard Sanna Tanner leads the rescue team alone after losing her colleague to the icy waters. While waiting out the storm, Sanna tries to find out what happened on the vessel by investigating the crew – but it seems that everyone on the ship is hiding something…

Over the next six days crew members start disappearing and acting strangely one by one – and it seems an old folktale about vindictive spirits lost at sea is coming to life. Sanna races to solve the mystery… Before she becomes the next target.

Why we like it:

Eerie, suspenseful, ICEBREAKER cleverly plays with the contained space, its desolate surroundings and otherworldly traditions to send chills down our spine.
