Heartstone

A remote fishing village in Iceland. Teenage boys Thor and Christian experience a turbulent summer as one tries to win the heart of a girl while the other discovers new feelings toward his best friend. When summer ends and the harsh nature of Iceland takes back its rights, it’s time to leave the playground and face the forces from their environment and inner conflict that can drive them apart... A coming-of-age story of brotherhood, self-acceptance, strong girls and the importance of family, which draws inspiration from nature and from the strong feelings that come to you when walking over untouched ground.
