Icelandic filmmaker Hlynur Pálmason is back in Cannes with his new film “The Love that Remains“.

After “Godland“, which was set in the late 19th century and premiered in the Un Certain Regard section in 2022, Hlynur Pálmason decided to direct a more personal and intimate film, starting from what was close to him and around him.

“The Love that Remains” tells the story of a family over the course of a year, while mother and father are separating. The three children of the couple are played by Pálmason’s kids in real life.

With Saga Garðarsdóttir and Sverrir Gudnason in the role of the breaking up couple Anna and Magnus, “The Love that Remains” explores, to quote the director: “what happens to a family when they split, what happens to all the memories and moments they shared? What happens to the love that remains?”.
