When the Light Breaks

Description

A young couple’s plans for the future are cruelly interrupted by a tragic event. We experience the next 24 hours with Uma, who is confronted with love, friendship, grief, and the highs and lows of life. Director Rúnarsson beautifully captures the different phases of grief, and makes everyone feel seen through the different ways in which the characters deal with grief. Award-winning director Rúnar Rúnarsson will be present at the festival.
