Anna and Magnús are separating, working out how best to navigate breaking up without confusing their three children. Over the course of one year, life continues, in many ways, as normal, with each change of season occasioning little differences at home and in the surrounding landscape.

Making room enough for sunshine and snow, picture-book loveliness and boisterous coarseness, and animals of all stripes, this unflaggingly charming film keeps pace with a family in flux. Balancing that wonderful commotion, director Hlynur Pálmason tends to his greeny imagery with expert precision.
