- Synopsis:
In this film based on the critically acclaimed novel by Guðbergur Bergsson, in contemporary rural Iceland, after having been caught shoplifting, wayward 9-year-old Sól (Gríma Valsdóttir) is sent to live and work on a farm with distant countryside relatives. Here, nature seems endless, and as Sól adjusts to her new surroundings she also strikes up a relationship with the mysterious farmhand Jón (Thor Kristjansson) who, much like Sól, likes words and writing better than people, inspiring her to nurture her own creative gifts. But when the farmer’s rebellious daughter Ásta (Þuríður Blær Jóhannsdóttir) returns home with her own set of problems, and with her own complicated relationship to Jón, Sól soon finds herself entangled in a drama she is far too young to understand. And as she enters the murky waters of adulthood, Sól begins to realize that the wildness of nature is equally deep within the people who surround her. - Actors:
