Why we chose it

The film that stood out like no other after its participation in Un Certain Regard at Cannes 2022 is an epic of unparalleled beauty and charming ferocity about the eternal battle between the spiritual and the material, nature and man, religion and desire.

Synopsis

At the end of the 19th century, a young Danish priest is ordered by his superiors to go to a remote area of Iceland to build a church. He has a passion for photography and is interested in photographing the locals, something no one has attempted before.
