Synopsis

Two brothers, living in a remote fjord with their parents, share a strong bond between one another. We look into their world through the eyes of the younger brother and follow him on a journey that marks a turning point in the lives of both siblings.

Our take

Set among the striking landscape of rural Iceland, this tender short from writer-director Guðmundur Arnar Guðmundsson is a powerful story of sibling attachment. Partly drawing from the filmmaker’s own life, Whale Valley subtly explores the chilling turmoils of remote living.
