 FI. H.C. Andersenin samannimiseen teokseen perustuva elokuva kertoo Kertun matkasta Kain luokse lumoavan Lumikuningattaren valtakuntaan. Lumikuningatar hamuaa viimeistä Vihreää Kiveä kruunuunsa voidakseen hallita koko maailmaa, mutta hän voi saavuttaa herruuden vasta Kain avustuksella. Ystävästään huolestunut Kerttu lähtee pitkälle ja vaarojen täyteiselle matkalle, löytääkseen ystävänsä tykö ja viedäkseen tämän takaisin kotiin. Kertun tarina muuttuu nuoren tytön kasvutarinaksi ja matkaksi aikuisuuteen.
