A renowned heart surgeon and his 21-year-old daughter have the opportunity to spend more time together after a long time. They have many miles of walking in Iceland ahead of them. They are not only going to hot springs or glaciers, though, but also back to the past, where many wrongs and questions remain. The ability to listen to each other and be supportive, which they learn during the trek, proves to be vital for them. There is also a third character in this introspective drama in which two people wrestle with nature and their own thoughts: the breath-taking Icelandic scenery. (Febiofest)

I watched this because it’s set in Iceland. The metaphorical depiction of the feelings of fear of losing the one you love the most during heart surgery, through the dialogue of a father and his daughter in a natural and atmospherically otherworldly place, absolutely does not work as a drama. Not in any way. An even greater disappointment is the fact that, after several lovely drone shots in the first half, the film monotonously remains in the same location in Iceland throughout its runtime and thus fails to exploit the potential of the country’s natural uniqueness. The use of properly chosen locations with increasingly dramatic visual impact could have better emphasized the film’s intimate story line.
