A Letter from Helga

The two sheep farmers approach each other shyly through their shared affection for literature before emotions run as wild as the ocean waves that surround them. In a small community, secrets won't last long, and hard choices must be made. This lyrical Icelandic melodrama explores complex relationships and universal feelings of love, lust, loss, and regret against an awe-inspiring Icelandic backdrop. Based on the popular novel by Bergsveinn Birgisson and with an all-star Icelandic cast, the film also paints a bigger picture of fundamental changes in both gender roles and society.
