Summer has begun in a remote fishing village in the north of Iceland. A group of friends have a last few months of unbridled childhood joy left before they have to face adulthood and its pitfalls. First love, unexpected feelings for a close friend, and a father’s alcoholism follow the four characters in this moving and lively film that sensitively captures the extraordinary and fleeting period of adolescence.
