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.

Visions of Europe returns for its 5th edition, celebrating the breadth of European cinema with a handpicked selection of new releases, previews, festival hits and classics returning to the big screen.

This film is Pay What You Can. This scheme invites you to think about your own circumstances and what you can afford to spend at the cinema. Instead of our usual ticket types, for all Visions of Europe films we have a sliding scale with tickets at £4, £7, £10 and £15. Find out more.
