When The Light Breaks

Against the warm glow of sunset, Una and Diddi plan their future. But before the next sunset, Una’s life is upturned by a sudden tragedy.

Forced to deal with her intense grief in secret, Una must confront the arrival of Diddi’s girlfriend as she joins her close-knit circle of young art students.

With breathtaking Icelandic scenery and striking 16mm cinemtatography, this stylish Nordic drama is a stunning study in love, friendship, sorrow and beauty.

"Alongside its study of a singular kind of heartbreak, Runarsson’s film offers images that anyone who can relate to losing a loved one at a young age will find impossible to shake." Lovia Gyarkye, The Hollywood Reporter
