In the late 19th century Lucas, a Danish missionary brimming with ambition and
ideals, sets off on a journey to a remote part of Iceland to help finish the
construction of a church and to photograph the local inhabitants. What appears
to be a predictable pilgrimage, however, gradually becomes an unexpectedly
intense encounter with the landscape and the forces of nature. For many the
absolute pinnacle of this year’s festival in Cannes, the stunningly composed
drama with its truly enchanting images was created by consummate talent of
contemporary film, Hlynur Pálmason (A White, White Day).
Directed by Hlynur Pálmason, Denmark/Island/France/Sweden, 2022
