Wigum ⏱ Runtime: 82 minutes 🌐 Language: Icelandic 💬 Subtitles: Hebrew and English Over the course of a single day filled with the light of the midnight sun and promises, Una's life changes. In the evening she sits with her partner facing a pastoral sunset, both planning their shared future; in the morning she wakes up alone into a new reality, filled with doubt and anxiety. Out of silence, embarrassment and longing, she embarks on a quiet inner journey between truth and lies, between total intimacy and unbearable loneliness. With rare cinematic talent and emotional sensitivity, Rúnar Rúnarsson presents an intimate drama unfolding almost in real time, about the search for meaning within heartbreak, and about the faint light that begins to seep in precisely in the darkest moments. "When the Light Breaks," the opening film of the "Un Certain Regard" section at Cannes 2024, met with dazzling success and rave reviews around the world. 82 minutes, Icelandic, Hebrew and English subtitles. **Tickets:** https://www.haifacin.co.il/Event/17363/ **Source:** cinehaifa **Image:** https://pub-0a891185c33b4c5a8db7ede117f7c8e7.r2.dev/haifa-events/cinehaifa/66e26dad492dba14ff2c0c5172249ea9.jpg --- **Canonical event page:** https://www.haifa.events/en/event/kshhaor-nshvr-sep-09/ **Other languages:** https://www.haifa.events/he/event/kshhaor-nshvr-sep-09/, https://www.haifa.events/ru/event/kshhaor-nshvr-sep-09/ Haifa Events is an aggregator.
