In the kingdom of Arendelle, young princesses Elsa and Anna are close until Elsa's magical ability to create and control ice and snow results in an accident that injures Anna.
To protect Anna, their memories of Elsa's magic are altered, and the sisters grow apart. Years later, during Elsa's coronation as queen, her powers are accidentally revealed, leading her to flee and inadvertently cast Arendelle into an endless winter.
