Why we chose it

Ana and Otto meet at school when they’re eight, and both of their names are palindromes. Julio Medem took his cue from a crush on the girl next door that he never really outgrew, and he follows the pair as their lives knot together over the years and love leads them beyond the Arctic Circle.

Synopsis

From the moment they meet at school, aged eight, Ana and Otto are bound by a great deal, and all of it has to be pushed down when Otto’s father moves in with Ana’s mother. Over the years their lives keep circling back to each other, always pulling them further north. Up there, the day never ends.
