Film description:
The new film by Hlynur Pálmason (Biały, biały dzień; Godland) combines Nordic restraint with a huge dose of unmistakable northern humor. It is a story about the breakdown of a family, a surprising hybrid of emotions and styles: intimate and melancholic, yet grand in scope; extremely tender, but also mocking and slapstick. Pálmason paints a life bardo — a state of suspension in which his characters find themselves: a married couple and their three children.

Magnus is a sailor on fishing vessels, and Anna is an artist dreaming of a breakthrough in her career. Each of them tries on their own to piece the family back together, but it is Magnus who feels thrown overboard. For Pálmason, the study of separation is an opportunity to look — with irony and tenderness — at men who drift, are lost, and seek new roles for themselves. Navigating through the seasons (the film presents a full year in the life of the family), portraying the harsh landscape of Iceland and obsessively observing machines, the director unfailingly finds visual equivalents of emotional and existential instability. This poignant and irresistibly funny film is one of the most beautiful tributes to love that cinema has created.

The film is distributed by New Horizons.
