When the Light Breaks

When the light breaks on a long summer’s day in Iceland. From one sunset to another, Una, a young art student, encounters love, friendship, sorrow and beauty.
Una worstelt met verdriet, terwijl ze een geheim met zich meedraagt. Ze is een buitenstaander in de gebeurtenissen die zich om haar heen afspelen, ook al staat zij feitelijk in het middelpunt ervan. Door haar geheim kan ze haar emoties niet volledig uiten en de ruimte opeisen die ze verdient in het verdriet dat ze ervaart. Ze moet ruimte maken voor de emoties van anderen om haar heen, terwijl ze tegelijkertijd haar eigen waardigheid moet zien te behouden.
Le jour se lève sur une longue journée d’été en Islande. D’un coucher de soleil à l’autre, Una une jeune étudiante en art, rencontre l’amour, l’amitié, le chagrin et la beauté. Ce film est présenté en sélection Un Certain Regard au Festival de Cannes 2024 et en fait l’ouverture.
