Short time, high impact : The bonding between siblings. The vast view is breathtaking.

Even if the devastating climax of this short is not totally unexpected, there is cinematic poetry in the way it establishes the raw bond between the two brothers at its center amidst the bleak Icelandic landscape. This is a director who understands how to use the power of film language, always just showing enough to draw audiences into feeling their own conclusions.
