It engages the audience with a deeply resonant narrative that highlights the ways our sense of safe keeping can suddenly be ripped from our grasp. And it reminds us of the power we possess, even when we think we’re helpless.

At the edge of Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula, two women’s lives will intersect–for a brief moment–while trapped in circumstances unforeseen. A delicate bond forms between a struggling Icelandic mother and an asylum seeker from Guinea-Bissau as both strategize to get their lives back on track.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
What might, in other hands, be melodramatic or emotionally manipulative remains resolutely unsentimental here.
Understated and confidently judged, it becomes a testimony to the old-fashioned virtues of social-realist storytelling rooted in ordinary lives and timely concerns.
Los Angeles Times by Michael Rechtshaffen
The film, which debuted last year at Sundance, covers considerable, resonant socio-political ground while being anchored by the compelling performances of its’ leads.
The Hollywood Reporter by Sheri Linden
Having made a number of well-regarded, female-focused short films, the Icelandic director graduates to features with a sure grasp of naturalistic performance and an eye for character-shaping landscape.
