The Rink

Anna, the owner of an ice rink near a former amusement park, decided to sell the rink to developers and leave town. Years ago, her daughter Angel left town. Anna's husband, Dino, had passed away, leaving Anna alone and without any responsibility. However, soon after the rink was sold and dismantled, Angel returned to town to find the people and places she grew up with, especially the rink. Anna immediately rejects her daughter and explains that the ice rink will soon disappear along with the rest of the amusement park nearby. Through a series of flashbacks and revelations, the two end up dealing with their past and come to terms with each other.
