On Iceland’s frozen cliffs, we find ourselves in the dark waters of an ancient fairy tale. Two sisters who lost their mother after she was accused of witchcraft find their way through the windswept lands of the Middle Ages as they search for a place of refuge. Shaped by director Nietzchka Keene, this mystical world is built on a harsh reality that immediately draws the viewer in. As the sisters take refuge in the quiet home of Johan and his angry son Jonas, they paint a fragile portrait of family life. However, ancient rituals that summon the unseen and burgeoning secret powers slowly begin to threaten this remote sanctuary. Set in the most desolate corners of nature and the human soul, this drama reminds us of the darkness lurking behind the innocent face of fairy tales.
