In the late 19th century, a young Danish priest travels to a remote part of Iceland to build a church and photograph its people. But the deeper he goes into the unforgiving landscape, the more he strays from his purpose, the mission and morality.
Director's Statement
GODLAND explores family bonds, the acceptance of myth or some kind of magic realism.
It’s also a film about a journey into ambition, love and faith and the fear of God and the need and want to find your place in all this, to be seen, to be a part of something. It’s also about communication, the foreign aspect of dialogue, and the way we communicate or rather miscommunicate. It’s about inner and outer conflicts. It’s about humanity and nature and how these things collide with each other, through man, animal and the world around us.
In the end, I found out that this film is very much about what divides us and what ties us together. And I was surprised to find out that in the end, death might be the only thing that ties us together. This is the core of the film, the beating heart.
