Elsa, a Swedish minister, proposes a treaty that prohibits oil drilling in the Arctic.

As the Arctic Council gathers in Greenland to sign the treaty, a Swedish ship is attacked close by and the crew kidnapped.

The Russian minister demands the meeting to be cancelled. Elsa (Lena Endre) needs to decide: give in to terror or fight for the climate.

Liv (Bianca Kronlöf), a Swedish detective, witnesses the attack during a call with her boyfriend Viktor who is onboard the ship. Liv travels to Greenland to investigate.

There she is met with Enok, the local chief of police, who is undermined as Katarina, the Danish police chief of Greenland, takes over. They discover that Russia has found a colossal oil well in Greenland and secretly agreed to ensure Greenlandic independence in return for the drilling rights.

The attack proves to be the first part of a well-orchestrated operation which seems designed to prevent Elsa’s treaty. She has to navigate the minefield of diplomatic relations, pushing her treaty while preventing the situation to escalate to a new cold war.

Her courteous Scandinavian diplomacy will not suffice in the vulgar arena of international politics. Liv is forced to investigate a Russian delegation protected by diplomatic immunity and her discoveries eventually threaten the peace and stability of the entire Arctic.

In a suspenseful situation, all must now decide between their own short-term interests or work together for the sake of the entire planet.

Thin Ice – Australian Premiere – Thursday, 22 April 2021 on SBS On Demand (all eight episodes available to stream)
