A remote fishing village in Iceland. Teenage boys Thór and Kristján experience a turbulent summer as one tries to win the heart of a girl while the other discovers new feelings toward his best friend. When summer ends and the harsh nature of Iceland takes back its rights, it's time to leave the playground and face adulthood.

felt completely foreign and so familiar. absolutely loved this film. i really appreciated the intimacy of the shots. the characters really spoke to me. this film left me feeling heartbroken and nostalgic and i wouldn’t have it any other way.
