Across a year in rural Iceland, artist Anna (Saga Garðarsdóttir) and fisherman Magnús (Sverrir Gudnason) navigate marital separation while co-parenting their three children (played by Pálmason’s own).

Pálmason delicately captures the changing seasons and shifting family dynamics with warmth, humour and touches of absurdity, crafting an intimate meditation on love, nature, and unconventional families.

Special mention for Panda, the family dog, whose performance won this year’s Palme Dog at Cannes Film Festival.

+ The Letter That Remains (After the Sun 22 Mar, 12.40pm screening)
Hosted by undergraduate students, The Letter That Remains is a post-screening writing event. Stick around after the film, enjoy a cup of tea on us, and think where you might be in the next year. Your letter could be to yourself, your loved ones, about life or what the film made you feel.
