Take a look in advance

A beautiful, moving film in which the famous Icelandic writer Andri Snær Magnason weaves his family’s story into the history of Iceland and the disappearance of its glaciers. An epic, exceptionally compelling documentary by Sara Dosa, the director of the Oscar-nominated *Fire of Love*.

“In the beginning, there was nothing, then fire and ice met. Out of the chaos, a cow rose up, made of ice and snow, and from her body emerged glaciers that carved out mountains and valleys. Rivers flowed from her udders, nourishing the world. Her ice created a home… and ice became a home for us all.”

Rivers flowed from her udders, nourishing the world. Her ice created a home… and ice became a home for us all.”

Andri Snær Magnason used to read this Icelandic creation myth to his children when they were young. Using his family archive as a starting point, he transforms that myth into a fantastic story that connects deep geological time with our own lives. In this way, the film becomes a time capsule for the future, in which Iceland’s glaciers and the memories of them are kept alive.
