Otto and Ana are lovers who meet at the age of eight and remain inextricably linked from that moment on. As their relationship develops through the years, they find themselves drawn to the mysteries of Finland’s hinterland—which stretches right into the Arctic Circle.

With its innovative, elliptical narrative structure and its metaphysical depiction of a sinuous love affair, Lovers of the Arctic Circle rightly became an emblematic work of Spanish cinema. Julio Medem (Sex and Lucía) captured the hearts of a generation with his quasi-mystical look at fated love.
