Tallinn Competition Drama ‘Summerlight… And Then Comes The Night’ Lands World Rights Deal & U.S. Distribution


The film will have its theatrical debut at the IFC Center on September 20.

The film’s synopsis reads, After dreaming in Latin, a successful manager decides to ditch his career and glamorous wife, in exchange for books and stargazing, while the beautiful seamstress Elisabet cuts a surprisingly svelte path. Life for farmers Kristin and Kjartan is swell until an explosive passion, that bewilders even them, ignites his wife’s fury and a spectacular revenge. “Elfar’s film is a delightful pastiche of characters whose stories in a remote fishing village bring joy and sorrow and show the butterfly-wing thin thread between life and death on screen,” Sheldon said.
