Kalli groeit op in de buitenwijken van Reykjavik bij zijn moeder. Hij is gewend aan een leven via schermpjes: films, televisie en computers. Als hij met kerstmis naar zijn vader vertrekt in het verre noorden, komt hij er al snel achter dat het daar anders aan toe gaat. Geen internet, geen schermpjes, geen bereik. (Twin Film)
Recensie (1)
The film is primarily intended for school-aged children, let's say between 7 and 13 years old, and it has a slight overlap with the realm of family movies. Although the film contains a ghost motif, it is not important. What matters is the confrontation of a value system and the behavior of a city boy moved to an inhospitable wilderness. At the same time, it is a conflict and reconciliation between two children of different personalities and genders. The camera does not fully utilize all the possibilities that Icelandic nature offers, but it is still worth watching. It has a pleasantly short duration, and the acting performances and direction are without apparent flaws. Although Icelandic cinema had seven noteworthy films last year, for me, every encounter with this somewhat exotic work is a rarity. Overall impression: 55%.
