The Love That Remains
The Love That Remains follows a year in the life of an Icelandic family, as parents navigate their separation while the children and family sheepdog Panda (who won the prestigious Palm Dog award at the Cannes Film Festival) seem to take the familial fracture in stride. Through playful and heartfelt moments, the film portrays the bittersweet nature of faded love and shared memories amidst the changing seasons in an endlessly surprising and authentic way. A Janus Films release.
Presented in Icelandic, English, Swedish, and French, with English subtitles.
