On a frozen lake anything can happen.
Sven and Ole have been best buds since kindergarten. When they gather to celebrate Ole’s wedding to Lena with an ice-fishing bachelor party, an unexpected confession begins to crack their plans wide open.
As the beer flows and temperatures drop, they hook into deeper truths, along with a talking fish. This hilarious and surreal comedy is a long-awaited fantasia on Midwestern masculinity.
