A Letter From Helga

Director:
Ása Helga Hjörleifsdóttir

The west fjords of Iceland, in the 1940s. Bjarni, a young, idealistic farmer, has status, respect and his wife Unnur is capable and hard-working. It appears that the sun is shining on them, but underneath the surface, a silent anguish is growing between husband and wife. And then there is Helga, the mother of two on the next farm. Soon a rumor starts to spread that the two of them are having an affair. Ironically this rumor eventually does drive them together, but what consequences there will be?
