What happens in Frozen from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

** The tale opens by revisiting a hidden chapter from the past: King Agnarr reveals to Elsa and Anna that their grandfather, Runeard, deceived the Northuldra by forging a treaty tied to a dam built in their homeland—the Enchanted Forest. A deep conflict erupts, ending with Runeard’s death and a rift that unleashes tumult in the elements of earth, fire, water, and air. The aftermath leaves a wall of mist, isolating the forest from the outside world, while Agnarr barely escapes with the help of an unseen savior. The memory of this event casts a shadow over the kingdom and sows a question that the sisters will eventually seek to answer: what really happened, and what must be done to mend what was broken?
