Arjeplog is a quaint little town in Northern Sweden sandwiched between end-less forests and more than 800 lakes, just 80km south of the Polar Circle. Every December, over one thousand automobile and equipment manu-facturers from around the globe descend upon the idyllic place to use the frozen lakes of the area as their testing grounds. This film is less a story of new automobile technology or the big money involved in the industry, but takes a look at the impact of the suspiciously high ratio of men compared to women during the four-month testing period in Arjeplog. Åse Sundström is the only female “icemaker”, helping her father preparing the lakes. But then a love story comes along. Just as the saying goes: "Every winter Arjeplog loses a woman".
