Heart of Lightness

About This Movie

Heart of Lightness captures a unique blend of comedy and drama as it follows a group of British actors thrust into the surreal landscape of Norway's unending daylight. The film's pacing leans into the absurdity of their situation, with moments of tension and hilarity arising from their bafflement and cultural clashes. The performances are a mixed bag but often shine in their authenticity, bringing out a genuine camaraderie amidst the chaos. The practical effects are minimal, but the raw beauty of the Norwegian landscape plays a significant role, almost acting as a character itself. It’s this interplay between the actors’ experiences and the relentless sun that gives the film its distinctive tone—a meditation on creativity, isolation, and unexpected camaraderie.
