actors: Ingvar Sigurdsson, Ida Mekkin

An austere Icelandic drama about a grieving widower in a remote town who starts digging into his late wife's past. As he uncovers fragments of secrets and hidden loyalties, his orderly routines unravel and suspicion, memory, and longing distort his sense of reality. Set against stark, wind-swept landscapes, the film probes how guilt and grief reshape identity, and how the past presses in on the present, forcing a final reckoning that cannot be escaped.
