Directed by Hlynur Pálmason / 2022

In the late nineteenth century, a casually arrogant Danish priest Lucas (Elliott Crosset Hove) makes the perilous trek to Iceland’s sparsely populated southeastern coast with the intention of establishing a church. There, amid the magnificent landscapes and glorious nature, Lucas finds his resolve and self-control tested as he confronts harsh terrain, temptations of the flesh, and the reality of being an intruder in an unforgiving, if beautiful, place.

“Absolutely breathtaking—the camera captures the unassuming beauty of Iceland, but also does not hide its frigid nature, both terrifying and beautiful.” –Jenny Nulf, Austin Chronicle

In Icelandic and Danish with English subtitles. (2 hours 23 min)
