(800,000 Norwegian crowns/€79,000). Oddsson’s project, produced by Iceland’s Ursus Parvus, centres on a man called Jon. When his domineering mother passes away in their isolated Westfjords home, he must honour her dying wish to bring her body across Iceland to its final resting place in her hometown. As they travel, Jon’s whole existence takes on a new meaning. Sena is in charge of the film’s domestic distribution.

Meanwhile, Kjeldgaard’s feature, staged by Denmark’s Manna Film and set to be distributed nationwide by Øst for Paradis, follows 19-year-old Carl, a boy adopted from South Korea, who lives a quiet life on his parents’ farm, but feels estranged within his own family. He is faced with the choice of seeking out his origins or embracing his destiny in the Danish countryside.
