When The Light Breaks is an intimate and poignant drama by award-winning Icelandic director Rúnar Rúnarsson, known for Volcano and Sparrows . With a keen eye for emotion and nuance, Rúnarsson explores how people deal with grief, love and loss in different ways. He shows that grief can look different for everyone and gives space to everyone's feelings.
With cinematography by Sophia Olsson, who masterfully captures the breathtaking Icelandic landscapes, the visual aspect becomes a major player in the film.
