In a small fishing village in Iceland, the teenage boys Thór and Christian experience a turbulent summer: the first tries to win the heart of a girl, while the other discovers new feelings towards his best friend. When the summer ends and the harsh nature of Iceland begins to make itself felt, it’s time to leave the playground and face adulthood. A debut work, it was presented at Venice Days at the Venice Film Festival, where it won the Queer Lion award.
