THE GROUND BENEATH OUR FEET
POLISH TITLE: GRUNT POD NASZYMI STOPAMI
A warm, human film from an elderly home in Reykjavík, with a poetic eye for the small mysteries and miracles of everyday life – and a great love for life itself, as long as it lasts. Winter turns to summer, that turns to winter and, maybe, to summer again, for a group of elderly people living together in a grand old building in Reykjavík. It is an institution, but also a home. Some have lived a lifetime that spans almost a century. The daily actions they have performed throughout their lives are portrayed as meditative experiences, while their bodies and memory perform as creeks flowing down a mountain to the sea. A sensitive and humanistic film about life at the end of life.
