Against the warm glow of sunset, art students Una (Elín Hall) and Diddi (Baldur Einarsson) plan their future, now Diddi plans to break up with his girlfriend at home. But by the next sunset, Una’s life is upturned as tragedy strikes. With their relationship now forever remaining a secret, Una is forced to deal with her intense grief internally when Diddi's girlfriend arrives, grappling with her need to grieve openly and shattering someone else's life.

With an award-winning lead performance from Hall and striking 16mm cinematography, Rúnar Rúnarsson’s fourth feature (Volcano, Sparrow, Echo) is a stunning look at grief and young love.
