During a car ride to Reykjavik, Diddi [Baldur Einarsson] is killed in an explosion in a car tunnel. His girlfriend Una [Elin Hall] struggles with her emotions, having just reached a turning point in her life that would test her relationship with Diddi. Thoughtfully told psychological drama struggles to reach its 80-minute mark, but thanks to the strong ensemble playing it gives a beautiful picture of the importance of friends and of grieving together, especially for someone who struggles with her emotions as much as Una.

Beautiful film indeed and especially an interesting angle by letting someone mourn who has to do that partly secretly (because she was only the mistress at that time). Beautiful music, visually nice (from the sunset to the moment of flying at the church) and very well acted. Also nice scenes between father and daughter that are so taken from life.
I have a lot of good things to say and little to criticize, only the film did not really blow me away. The 82 minutes are also just enough (secretly just a few too many and a single scene drags a bit) and that says something about the film for me. Well made but not a film that really carried me away and could have lasted and lasted. 3.5*.
