“I wrote on my piece of paper: Libussa, Libussa, Libuše, Libuše, ó sněhová královno, o snow queen, ó sněhová královno, o snow queen, miluji tě, I love you, větrníček, little windmill, led, ice, sníh, snow, konek, end, začátek, beginning. Then I copied a collage from the magazine Moderní revue. Breasts and little birds.”
Marie, a student of Slavid Literature in Prague, has fallen in love with her professor, the formidable Libuše. In pursuit of her Snow Queen, Marie discovers Czech poetism and surrealism, sex, danger, and women.
