DramaMusic

A young girl in 1990s Iceland is caught between the life that took her brother and her own inability to strike out on her own. In her grief, she finds solace in metal and dreams of making her own music.

VIBE

A raw, atmospheric dive into adolescent angst and grief. It feels like the quiet hum of a cassette tape in a lonely bedroom, punctuated by the cathartic roar of distorted guitars. A portrait of finding your voice through the darkness.
