An absolutely beautiful documentary. Perfectly told and edited. It’s simultaneously deeply personal and universal. Easily one of the most moving films I’ve seen

How do you say goodbye to something you never thought you could lose?
Beautiful doc, as expected. The bond between human life and the natural world—so central to ancient mythologies—feels especially crucial in Iceland. Mapping one family’s history onto the slow memory of ice is quietly devastating. Whether time moves at a glacial crawl or a human heartbeat, the film reminds us that loss is inevitable—and that its urgency intensifies the longer we pretend we’re not running out of time.

Incredibly jealous of people who have been to this beautiful country, let alone those who live there. I think I prefer this to Fire of Love, but Dosa’s style is so appealing. Loved the animated sequences, especially when it started to get into the Nordic mythology. That shit gets me goin.
I’ll be honest I’m not very versed in documentaries, I don’t watch nearly as many as I probably should compared to the amount of narrative stuff I watch. But docs like these are definitely what I gravitate towards. Visually beautiful and stylish. I’m here for anything Dosa does.

Sundance 3/
Bounces between highs (moments of innovative, transcendental storytelling) and lows (tedious repetition of slow narration under montage and editing that often killed narrative flow)
