ABOUT THE FILM

"Hlynur Pálmason's surrealist Icelandic dramedy captures a year in the life of a family, as a separating couple navigate their changing relationship while co-parenting their three children (played by the director's own children).
Through intimate vignettes and playful and heartfelt moments, the film portrays a raw and naturalistic view of family life in rural Iceland, and the bittersweet nature of faded love and shared memories amidst the changing seasons."
— Watershed Summary

"Godland director Hlynur Pálmason’s inventive fourth feature is a witty yet tender portrait of a year in the life of a family whose parents are navigating their separation. Punctuated with humour (including scenes of outrageous mansplaining and serious self-sabotage), quirky fantasy and a scene-stealing family dog, the film elegantly portrays the bittersweet realities of negotiating faded love’s new normal."
— Sarah Lutton, BFI

"Spiraling into surrealism as ordered lives and minds unravel, Pálmason’s fourth feature is an album of achingly felt, morbidly funny and increasingly haywire scenes from a marriage. Though very different in form and focus from the director’s 2022 stunner Godland, the new film shares with its predecessor an airy, understated precision of image, a fixation with the changeable moods of the rural Icelandic landscape and a dry, peculiar wit rooted in perverse curiosities of human behavior."
