Frost Without Snow and Ice

Over a decade on Svalbard, the fastest warming place on earth, Norwegian filmmaker Asgeir Helgestad witnesses the extraordinary life of a polar bear named Frost – a mother struggling to raise her cubs in a rapidly changing Arctic. This intimate journey transforms him from observer to storyteller, driven by his passion to connect with nature and to expose the devastating impacts of climate change on this fragile ecosystem. As Asgeir confronts the consequences of human actions, he reflects on his encounter with Frost and ultimately asks: can empathy and understanding bridge the gap between humans and non-humans before it’s too late? A visually stunning and deeply personal story about love, loss, and survival in one of Earth’s most fragile ecosystems – a moving tribute to Frost and the resilience of life in the Arctic.
