The film will soon be adapted in the USA by Jodie Foster, and won ten Eddas in the categories of Film of the Year, Best Script, Best Sound, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Actress in a Starring Role, Best Set Design, Best Score, Best Special Effects and Best Director. Erlingsson’s work, an Icelandic-French-Ukrainian co-production, delivers a powerful message of civil resistance, urging us to protect the environment from industrial greed, and stars actress Halldóra Geirhardsdóttir (It Hatched, Reverse [+lire aussi :

An Icelandic-Finnish-German co-production, Let Me Fall tells the story of 15-year-old Magnea (Elín Sif Halldórsdóttir) and her encounter with Stella (Eyrún Björk Jakobsdóttir), whose turbulent lifestyle drags them both into a world of drugs and shakes up their lives entirely.
