Set in rural Iceland, this film follows artist Anna and fisherman Magnus as they navigate the dissolution of their marriage while trying to maintain stability for their three children. Remarkably, the children are played by director Pálmason’s own real-life offspring.

Shot on 35mm film, the film is infused with naturalism and surreal imagery. It captures the bittersweet essence of faded love and shared memories amid the changing seasons. With playful detours into comic and fantastical sequences, Pálmason’s painfully honest and darkly humorous portrayal of family life is crafted with a deep understanding of its uniqueness. The film premiered at Cannes, where Panda the dog won the Palm Dog award.
