From director Guðmundur Arnar Guðmundsson, “Heartstone” is a coming-of-age drama about two boys in a remote Icelandic village. Thor and Kristjan are best friends, who aim to find ways to pass time during the long summer. Their bond is put to the test however after Kristjan begins to make it apparent that his feelings for Thor might extend beyond just friendship. As the summer draws to an end and the ruthless winters of Iceland threaten to return, the two come to realize that they are no longer young boys.
Since it opened in Iceland’s cinemas on December 28, 2016, “Heartstone” has won numerous awards, such as the Audience Award for Feature Film during the 2017 Angers European First Film Festival.
The 10th edition of the PEFF commenced on Wednesday, November 8 and will run until November 18.
