Meredith and Nina Whitson are sisters, but it's hard to find women more dissimilar. One is a homebody who always thought there was no better fate than to marry, raise children, and run the family apple tree nursery. The other dreamed of traveling, became a photojournalist covering humanitarian disasters, and travels the world, avoiding talk of the future and family. Their father's illness brings the sisters together at their parents' home. From their mother with Russian roots they have never seen anything but icy disapproval, and even now Anya does not try to get closer to her daughters, displaying a familiar aloofness. As children, only one thing united them with their mother: a fairy tale about a poor girl and a prince, which she told the girls at night. Realizing that he is dying, the father asks his daughters to listen to the story - to the very end. Thus begins the journey of two women into their mother's past, into her life in besieged Leningrad, into the terrible and beautiful world of ice.
