CFF: When The Light Breaks (Subtitled)

Dir. Rúnar Rúnarsson | 2024 | 82 mins | Icelandic

When light breaks on a long summer’s day, young art student Una awakens filled with love’s warm glow. By sunset, her world is turned upside down. Writer-director Rúnar Rúnarsson’s beautiful and quietly breathtaking elegy of love, loss and acceptance, with its striking 16mm cinematography and exquisite design, amplified by Elín Hall’s captivating performance, captures a precise sense of time, place and mood. (Sarah Lutton).
