Synopsis
Direct from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it was the opening film of the UN CERTAIN REGARD section, WHEN THE LIGHT BREAKS is a poetic drama set over a single, seemingly endless summer’s day in Reykjavik, Iceland. From one sunset to another, young art student Una (a remarkable Elín Hall) is on a rollercoaster ride of emotion as she navigates a series of challenging events swirling around her. A tragic event forces her to bond with a new group of friends and as she grapples with grief, she also harbours a secret and is unable to fully express her emotions. Highlighting the unique, ethereal twilight of the Icelandic summer, it delves into group dynamics as national and personal tragedy collide, and Una must face the first big challenge of her adult life. Written and directed by Oscar-Nominated Icelandic director Rúnar Rúnarsson, this deeply moving coming-of-age drama presents a poignant young-adult exploration of grief, sorrow, love, beauty and friendship.
