This left me feeling very nostalgic, growing up in Iceland. Cool little short film about adolescence and just having fun as kids. I’m assuming most of the time filming this went to waiting for the weather to change, we got sun, heavy rain and snow. Which probably only took about 1 week of waiting cause of the dramatic Icelandic weather lol. It’s only shot in one angle and the visuals are lovely. Cool.

Gotta love a movie that knows how to just catch a vibe and stick with it.

Pálmason paints a new masterpiece with every cut of this film, I've never seen a one shot film done so effectively as this.

A childhood overheard — starring gravity as the villain, and a treehouse as a fragile act of defiance
