When The Light Breaks at BFI London Film Festival


From one loved-up Icelandic sunset to the next, a young woman experiences a vibrant odyssey of emotions as she is forced to reframe the future she’d hoped for.

When light breaks on a long summer’s day, young art student Una awakens filled with love’s warm glow. By sunset, her world is turned upside down. Writer-director Rúnar Rúnarsson’s beautiful and quietly breathtaking elegy of love, loss and acceptance, with its striking 16mm cinematography and exquisite design, amplified by Elín Hall’s captivating performance, captures a precise sense of time, place and mood.
