In the frosty world of competitive ice skating, Valeria once glided through life with elegance and passion. However, beneath the glistening surface, the icy halls of her school concealed a relentless storm of torment. Bullied mercilessly by her peers, Valeria's world shattered, leaving her vulnerable to the insidious clutches of body dysmorphia, self-harm tendencies, and a haunting eating disorder. As the cruel whispers of her tormentors echoed louder, her once-promising ice skating career began to falter. "Breaking The Ice" is a poignant exploration of Valeria's journey, navigating the thin ice between her dreams and the chilling reality of the darkness that threatened to engulf her. Will she find the strength to reclaim her passion, or will the weight of her struggles prove too heavy for her delicate skates?
