As Iceland's glaciers retreat, writer Andri Snær Magnason travels across his country in search of what is at risk of disappearing. Sara Dosa, already nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA for Fire of Love, interweaves landscapes, archival images, legends, and family history, transforming the climate crisis into an intimate question: when a landscape changes, so do the memories of those who loved it. The film is a window onto time, allowing us to see past and present together, the sense of belonging and the connection between humans and nature, to the point of questioning what kind of world we will leave to future generations. Based on the book of the same name by Andri Snær Magnason (Iperborea).
