SUMMARY:A LETTER FROM HELGA | SCREENING & FILM TALK
DESCRIPTION:This November\, see A Letter from Helga (Svar við bréfi Helgu\, Iceland\, 2022)\, a passionate love story set within the towering beauty of Iceland’s western fjords\, at Scandinavia House! Director Ása Hjörleifsdóttir (an ASF Fellow) will be present for a film talk and Q&A following the screening. *Please note that this event was originally scheduled for October 23; it has now been rescheduled to November 22.* \nIn 1940s Iceland\, the lives of two neighboring families are torn apart by a romance that develops between young farmer Bjarni (Thor Kristjansson) and aspiring poet Helga (Hera Hilmar). To their local community\, both appear happily married: Bjarni to the beautiful Unnur (Anita Briem)\, tilling land that has been in his family for nine generations\, and Helga to her husband Hallgrímur (Björn Thors)\, raising two children on a plot nearby. But when the two meet at a literary reading\, they are immediately drawn together\, and soon realize that they are haunted by shared feelings of disappointment and emptiness. As their affair intensifies\, they both yearn to escape — but do they dare to leave everything behind? Based on a novella by Bergsveinn Birgisson\, A Letter from Helga is a lyrical\, sweeping story of forbidden love. \n“Hjörleifsdóttir’s poignant adaptation churns with ardor\, guilt\, and regret about choices made and paths left unexplored” (The Seattle Times) \nPurchase Tickets
