HVALFJORD
Iceland, Denmark
Synopsis
The film shows a pure love story between two brothers who live in a remote Icelandic fjord with their parents. When the younger brother, a little boy, witnesses a life or death moment involving his big brother it sets in motion the possibility of either a great tragedy or a turning point to better times in both of their lives.
Director's Statement
My intention with WHALE VALLEY was to show pure love between two brothers who live in a remote fjord. I wanted to show how their upbringing and surrounding affect them. I seek my inspiration from the contrast in the Icelandic nature, the great beauty and harshness and also the inner turmoil of a child/person who has no words for his feelings.
