About Thin Ice

Thin Ice (Tunn is) is a Swedish-Nordic suspense thriller set against the high-stakes backdrop of Arctic diplomacy. The story opens as an attack on a research and oil-exploration vessel off the coast of Greenland coincides with a pivotal summit, where the Arctic Council is attempting to sign an agreement that would curb environmentally harmful drilling across the fragile polar region.

Swedish Foreign Minister Elsa is the driving force behind the proposed accord, championing cooperation and restraint even as competing national interests threaten to derail the talks. When her trusted political adviser Viktor goes missing aboard the stricken ship, the political and the personal collide, and a tense investigation reaches from the negotiating table to the icebound village of Tasiilaq.

Following intelligence officer Liv Hermanson as she digs into the disappearance, the eight-part series weaves geopolitics, climate anxiety and quiet human drama into a slow-burning mystery. Filmed largely in Iceland, it became one of the most ambitious productions in the region and aims for a measured, non-partisan look at the pressures shaping the Arctic's future.
