In a remote Icelandic town, an off-duty police chief begins to suspect a local man of having had an affair with his late wife, who died in a tragic accident two years earlier. Gradually his obsession for finding out the truth builds and inevitably he begins to himself and his loved ones in danger. A story of grief, revenge, and unconditional love.

Director Hlynur Pálmason brings us his second feature film A White, White Day, which had its world premiere at the Critics’ Week in Cannes 2019 where Ingvar E. Sigurðsson won a Louis Roederer Foundation Rising Star Award. The film has already garnered rave reviews and received numerous prizes - it is also in pre-selection for the European Film Awards 2019 and has been nominated for the Nordic Council Film Prize 2019.
