The Love That Remains

Anna, an artist, and Magnús, a fisherman, live with their three children and their remarkably charismatic sheepdog in the majestic Icelandic countryside. As fractures in their marriage surface, Anna and Magnús struggle to hold onto the precious moments of their life together, hoping to find a path that makes sense of their deep and enduring devotion.

By observing life’s unexpected changes with empathy, wisdom, and occasional whimsy, the immensely gifted filmmaker Hlynur Pálmason (Godland) brings surprising humor and true emotional weight to this gorgeous, intimate, and brilliantly expansive portrait of a marriage—one that redefines itself against the equally powerful backdrop of the changing seasons.

“A striking marital drama… exquisitely tender, morbidly funny, wise, and lyrical.” —Guy Lodge, Variety
