Göteborg Film Festival: Rúnar Rúnarsson’s ‘When The Light Breaks’ Wins Best Nordic Film
‘When The Light Breaks’ debuted at last year’s Cannes Film Festival
The jury said Rúnarsson’s film was chosen “for its masterfully calibrated mise en scène, its sensitivity and delicate lightness, its director’s unexpectedly uplifting treatment of grief, acutely portrayed by a perfect young ensemble.” The official synopsis reads: An accident plunges Iceland into national mourning, and for young art student Una, that fateful 24-hour day will change her life forever. The festival’s gender-neutral acting award was handed to Andrea Brœin Hovig for her role in Love, directed by Dag Johan Haugerud.
