    Women's hockey in Austria

    Breaking the Ice (2022) is an Austrian film written and directed by Clara Stern. It's a film outwardly about Austrian women's hockey, but really about interpersonal relationships.

    The movie stars Alina Schaller as Mira, the captain of the team. She's torn between working at her family's vineyard, caring for her grandfather who has dementia, and, of course, hockey.

    A new player joins the team, and that's the basis of the plot.

    We saw this movie as part of Rochester's excellent ImageOut LGBTQ Film Festival.

    I enjoyed the movie, and recommend it. Breaking the Ice has a high IMDb rating of 7.9. I agreed with the other raters, and rated it 8.
