Synopsis
Australian premiere
Fjallið
In this emotional drama, the cosmos and a road trip to the Icelandic highlands offers comfort to a family whose life is upended by a twist of fate.
Electrician Atli (Björn Hlynur Haraldsson, Trapped, Wild Game), his wife María (Sólveig Guðmundsdóttir, Trapped), an astronomer, and their nineteen-year-old daughter, musician Anna (Ísadóra Bjarkardóttir Barney), live together in Iceland. María plans a trip for the family to go into the highlands to photograph a comet she thinks she has discovered. But when the day of the trip arrives, Atli and Anna have made other plans and cannot go with her. It is a fateful change that upends their lives and leads them on a new trajectory.
Written and directed by Ásthildur Kjartansdóttir, The Mountain is the first officially vetted sustainable production in Iceland and has been awarded the prestigious Green Film Sustainability certification. Shot on location in the Icelandic highlands and in Hafnarfjörður, a town just outside Reykjavík, The Mountain is a powerful and visually stunning drama about love, family, loss and the universe.
