IMDb

Emotional maturity is not attained at a certain age, but through the experience of death. Pansexual art student Una is in love with Diddi, a fellow drama school student. They talk about having children and travelling to Japan. They can’t wait for the secrecy surrounding their relationship to end. Diddi is about to fly north early the next morning to break up with his long-term girlfriend Klara. But he never makes it to Klara, and he can’t be blamed for failing to break up with her. He’s one of a dozen or so people killed in a tunnel fire, the worst road accident in Iceland’s history. As her future changes in an instant, Una is overcome by a sense of loss. And guilt.

“Everything I write is based on my first- or second-hand experiences, which I then mix with fiction. I also had an amazing cast /…/. It was crucial to find the right people to portray these characters and turn them into human beings. It is different when you work with young adults, but we tried to make this story believable and timeless.” (Rúnar Rúnarsson)
