"Fragments of Ice" begins as a family archive and gradually unfolds into a larger reflection on time, memory, and historical rupture.
The film is built from 15 VHS tapes filmed between 1986 and 1994 by Mykhailo Stoianov, a figure skater with Kyiv's Ballet on Ice ensemble. What seem like ordinary home videos preserve far more than private moments - they capture the emergence of a new world.
On screen, the glamour of foreign tours and the promise of Western utopia sharply contrast with post-Soviet life in a Kyiv apartment where young Maria grows up. Years later, director Maria Stoianova revisits these fragments to trace the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine's path to independence, and a painful process of self-definition.
The film reflects on identity, the presence and absence of a father, and the way history eventually catches up with personal lives. Ending after February 24, 2022, it reminds us that history never ended - it only froze.
