My Father's Island

Vladimir de Fontenay makes a welcome returns after the 2017 GFF hit Mobile Homes with a beautifully shot and psychologically intense wilderness drama, adapted from an autobiographically-inspired story by David Vann. When British teenager Roy (Woody Norman, C’mon C’mon) agrees to take a year-long trip to a remote Norwegian island with his estranged dad Tom (Anatomy of A Fall breakout star Swann Arlaud) the long summer days seem to offer them the prospect of healing and grand adventure. But what begins as a bonding exercise becomes a fight for survival as winter, family history and emotions start to bite.
