Under the Tree
Undir trénu
2017
Synopsis
Agnes throws Atli out and does not want him to see their daughter Ása anymore. He moves in with his parents, who are involved in a bitter dispute over their tree that casts a shadow on the neighbours’ deck. As Atli fights for the right to see his daughter, the clash with the neighbours intensifies.
Editorial
This deadpan comedy-noir about neighbourhood warfare quickly spirals into much darker territory. Under the Tree captures the simmering tensions and uneasy resentments bubbling up in Reykjavik’s suburbia with bone-dry humour and an eye for the offbeat, the macabre, and the absurd.
