Set against the sweeping landscapes of southern Iceland, a family facing the end of a marriage must find new ways to connect and create fresh memories — with a little help from moments of surreal fantasy. This fourth feature from acclaimed director Hlynur Pálmason — whose own children (and animals!) take on lead roles — beautifully explores how art, nature and family give us the roots we need to grow, while also honouring the quiet power of solitude and contemplation.

Come for the charming story, stay for the dreamlike soundtrack—and prepare to be won over by ‘Palm Dog’ winner Panda, the scene-stealing Icelandic sheepdog.

"The Love That Remains is a lesson in measured filmmaking – idiosyncratic but not insufferably kooky, sincere but not saccharine. We’ve certainly never seen a divorce drama quite like it before." - Louis Roberts, Loud and Clear Reviews

"Shot on 35mm film, The Love That Remains not only looks picturesque, but offers viewers an affectless view of its characters, not as they want to see themselves, but as their emotions dictate." - Simon Abrams, AV Club

Winner: Palm Dog Award - Cannes Film Festival, 2025
