Icebreakers

Icebreakers — Plot

For a sport that revolves around expressiveness, romance and a hell of a lot of sequins, the world of figure skating has a startlingly archaic stance on sexuality and gender. Same-sex pairs and gender bending are strictly forbidden in elite competitions – but once every four years, a parallel skating universe appears. At the Gay Games, an intergenerational group of skaters pushes the boundaries of their sport in the hope that mainstream skating will one day encompass a richer spectrum of the human experience.
