Introduction
Godland director Hlynur Pálmason’s inventive fourth feature is a witty yet tender portrait of a year in the life of a family whose parents are navigating their separation. Punctuated with humour (including scenes of outrageous mansplaining and serious self-sabotage), quirky fantasy and a scene-stealing family dog, the film elegantly portrays the bittersweet realities of negotiating faded love’s new normal.
