Why we chose it

One of the most tender and original love stories contemporary European cinema has given us, a story of circular repetitions and inextinguishable passion - even in the Arctic Circle. Audience Award in Athens International Film Festival for a movie worshiped by a whole generation of cinephiles.

Synopsis

Ana and Otto, two kids with palindrome names, meet in school at the age of 8. They feel a mutual attraction that they must suppress when Otto’s father moves in with Ana’s mother. Their lives will follow a mysterious circular path that will lead them to the Arctic Circle where day never ends at midnight. There are things that never end, and love is one of them.
