Filmtheater Fanfare | Solitude

After the nimble start to the season, may Solitude provide some counterbalance, where we know our guests will also be up for an Icelandic film.

Because of the construction of a new dam, his house will be flooded and Gunnar, an elderly, introverted farmer, has to leave his farm and his horses. Although the expropriation will earn him a handsome sum of money, he obviously does not feel at home in a small flat in Reykjavik. When he is offered one by the, also lonely, 10-year-old boy next door and newspaper delivery boy Ari, it may yet be the start of a special friendship.

"Solitude is an engaging drama about loneliness, humanity and the power of unexpected friendships" and "Understatedly, director Ninna Pálmadóttir sketches a coming-of-age story that transcends age barriers." (press kit)
