A WHITE, WHITE DAY

In a remote Icelandic town, an off-duty police chief begins to suspect a local man of having had an affair with his late wife, who died in a tragic accident two years earlier. Gradually his obsession for finding out the truth accumulates and inevitably begins to endanger himself and his loved ones. A story of grief, revenge and unconditional love.

Press Kit

"an eerily gripping study of grief — and impotence in its face — with the trappings of a revenge thriller. "

​

- New York Times

"The Oscars should have made room for the intense and elemental A White, White Day. "

​

- AV Club

"...This is a compassionate drama about grief and the sideways behaviour that will out if you keep stifling the main thing... "
