[ENG]

A coming-of-age story about the 16-year old boy Ari, who has been living with his mother in Reykjavik and is suddenly sent back to the remote Westfjords to live with his father Gunnar. There, he has to navigate a difficult relationship with his father, and he finds his childhood friends changed. In these hopeless and declining surroundings, Ari has to step up and find his way.

*************

A father-son conflict in a remote Icelandic village is framed by mountains and sea in the sad and delicate coming of age story Sparrows, lifted well above the teen drama genre by its solid directing and spectacular surroundings.  With a steely palette and carefully calibrated performances, Runar Runarsson’s film observes a teenager who finds himself stuck in the rural village of a boozy father whom he barely knows. Sparrows should play well with critics at international festivals, but getting past the art house circuit may be a challenge, despite the mounting interest in Icelandic cinema.
