2022 · 143 min

A slow, stark immersion into a harsh landscape, where faith and identity erode under unrelenting nature, leaving a haunting sense of isolation.

Overview: In the late 19th century, a young Danish priest travels to a remote part of Iceland to build a church and photograph its people. But the deeper he goes into the unforgiving landscape, the more he strays from his purpose, the mission and morality.
How it feels: Bleak, melancholic, tense and earnest. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Faith, isolation, colonialism, nature
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
