Three years after her unexpected death, the preparation of an exhibition celebrating the famous war photographer Laura Freed brings her husband and their two sons together for the first time in years. When an unsettling secret resurfaces, the three men are forced to look at each other and themselves in a new light, redefining their innermost needs and desires.

A rich picture of the family’s dreams, disappointments and secrets is gradually developed through non-linear fragments of shared memories, daily challenges and strained attempts to coexist. With his signature hypnotic, yet often jolting and exhilarating storytelling pulse, Joachim Trier weaves a tapestry of cherrypicked details and dreamscapes, combining arresting imagery with a relentless exposure of human nature.

The film was selected to compete for the Palme d’Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.

The premier of the film is April 15th at 20:00, the ticket price is 1.400 ISK in cooperation with Nordic Film Festival. Light refreshments will be on offer after the premier, offered by the Norwegian Embassy in Iceland.

The film will then be screened onwards in Bíó Paradís. The film is in English with Icelandic subtitles.
