Sparrows

A melancholic coming-of-age story set in post-crisis Iceland, exploring adolescent displacement, rekindled connection, and the weight of family upheaval.

The story follows a 16-year-old Icelandic boy, Ari, who lives with his mother in Reykjavík. She has to leave the country for a new job, sending him back to the small town of his youth. There he finds his old friend, suddenly a young woman with a tricky romantic relationship; and his father has become a victim of the financial crisis.
