Sumarið sem aldrei kom (the summer that never came)
I asked my friend Frosti to make a video about Iceland, but not the beautiful nature and landscapes. More like snapshots of everyday lives, the shitty weather and depression. I remember calling home to Iceland one summers day and talking to my sister. She was complaining that it was just endless rain and cold. It went from spring to fall and the summer never came. Icelanders live for these sun rays and light and when it doesn't come it's hard. It's a hard place to be, but also the best place to be. It's the light. It's the darkness. And everything in between. We also want to dedicate this film to Ólafur Kristjánsson (the weather man) that is in the film, but passed away soon after this was shot. RIP
