AKA : The Price of Salt
New York, 1952. Therese Belivet è una giovane donna impiegata in un grande magazzino di Manhattan. Richard vorrebbe sposarla, Dannie vorrebbe baciarla ma lei ha occhi solo per Carol, una cliente distinta, rapita da un trenino elettrico e dal suo interesse. Un guanto dimenticato e un trenino acquistato dopo, Carol e Therese siedono 'affamate' in un café. Carol ha un marito da cui vuole divorziare e una bambina che vuole allevare, Therese un pretendente incalzante e un portfolio da realizzare. Sole dentro il rigido inverno newyorkese e congelate dalle rigorose convenzioni dell'epoca, Carol e Therese viaggiano verso Ovest e una nuova frontiera, che le scopre appassionate e innamorate. Nell'America della Guerra Fredda, che considerava l'omosessualità come un disturbo sociopatico della personalità, Carol e Therese sfideranno i giudizi morali e scioglieranno l'inverno nel cuore.
