Synopsis

A brother odyssey set in a working environment during a cold winter. We follow two brothers, their routines, habits, rituals and a violent feud that erupts between them and another family. Hlynur Palmason’s debut feature was one of the most talked about films in the last edition of the prestigious Locarno Film Festival, where the film began an impressive path, earning 21 awards and much praise in the process. The success turned Winter Brothers into one of the most vital films of the year, and Hlynur Palmason into one of Europe’s most promising new figures in the film universe.
