Synopsis
High up in a remote mountain village, an elderly woman bears a sacred mission: she is the guardian of the Lahl, a precious stone embodying the wisdom, history, and collective memory of her people. The community chose her for her unwavering integrity, but the grandmother now realizes her earthly journey is drawing to a close. On her deathbed, she passes the Lahl—and the ancient responsibility attached to it—to her young granddaughter, Huwaydo.
Shortly after accepting this mission, Huwaydo receives a cold, imperious summons to appear before the Snow Queen, ruler of the distant Ice Palace. Upon her arrival, the Queen demands the Lahl, claiming the stone would be safer within the palace walls. Huwaydo refuses to part with her people's heritage. Enraged by this refusal, the Snow Queen imprisons the girl in a block of ice and places the Lahl in her personal collection.
Yet, the powerful stone cannot be held captive. Amidst the palace's freezing, oppressive atmosphere, the Lahl begins to radiate an intense inner heat. Its light transforms into fiery energy that melts the Ice Palace from within, shatters the Queen’s dungeon, and frees Huwaydo, allowing her to return home with her people's memory intact
