Tales from the Gimli Hospital

It all happened in a Gimli we no longer know.

An avant-garde, darkly whimsical tale nested within a deathbed frame, blending Icelandic folklore with surreal imagery and emotional ambiguity.

While their mother is dying in the modern Gimli, Manitoba hospital, two young children are told an important tale by their Icelandic grandmother about Einar the lonely, his friend Gunnar, and the angelic Snjofrieder in a Gimli of old.
