Popis (anglicky):

Art student Una is secretly dating Diddi, and they dream of a future together. But before that can happen, Diddi must first end his relationship with his official girlfriend. On his way to see her, the unthinkable happens: Diddi dies in a devastating tunnel fire that claims many lives. Una is overwhelmed by the news at school, and hours of uncertainty follow for her and Diddi's friends as they are taken care of by the authorities. When it is confirmed that Diddi has also died, their world collapses. At home, the friends seek support from each other, and in a mixture of sadness, anger, disbelief, and joy, they recall memories of their good friend. Meanwhile, Una struggles to find her place in this group, especially when Diddi's girlfriend Klara shows up—completely unaware of his secret relationship with Una.
In the intimate drama WHEN THE LIGHT BREAKS, award-winning Icelandic director Rúnar Rúnarsson (ECHO, SPARROWS) paints an intense picture of grief, connection, and the complex dynamics between love and loss. He shows that grief can look different for everyone and gives space to everyone's feelings. Combined with Sophia Olsson's cinematography, which brings the beautiful Icelandic landscapes to life, WHEN THE LIGHT BREAKS is an impressive film that viewers will not soon forget. The film was the opening film of the Un Certain Regard program at the Cannes Film Festival and has already won several awards.
