The film Ice represents an apotheosis of loyalty and love. The story focuses on the lives of archetypal characters and metaphorically represents the inexorable uprooting of Serbian family during the 1970s, the denies and disapperance of hamlets and villages in the magnificent Sumadija, the most beautiful region of sentral Serbia. Set in Sumadija's Radomilje village during the period of false bliss in Yugoslavia during the last decade of Tito's life - in 1976, the dramatic plot is centred around young, 20-year-old, villager Milivoje, who lives with his mother Stana, grandfather Zivotije and grandmother Saveta. Milivoje is torn and haunted by the portentous and feroboding memories of the harrowing death of his father in a quarry 10 years earlier, when he was still a boy. The screenplay for the film was based on the themes of the 1976 monodrama of the same name, which was written by the renowned Serbian scriptwriter, actor and director Rados Bajic.
