Wenn das Licht zerbricht
Dusk after a long summer's day in Iceland. From one sunset to the next, Una, a young art student, encounters love, friendship, sorrow and beauty.
The moving film WHEN THE LIGHT BURNS takes place during a day in Iceland: Diddi and Una are at the beginning of their relationship and become intimate with each other. Then Diddi, who has a girlfriend, goes home. The next day, Una learns that he has been killed in an accident in a tunnel. Soon after, Una meets Diddi's girlfriend Klara and reveals to her that she is pansexual.
Icelandic director Rúnar Rúnarsson's touching love triangle story about love, loss and identity repeatedly finds beautiful landscape images to reflect the soul. The androgynous Icelandic actress and singer Elín Hall is great in the leading role. WHEN THE LIGHT DESTROYS opened the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes International Film Festival in 2024 and has since received numerous awards.
