Desejosa de mudar de vida, Frances deixa Nova Iorque e aceita um trabalho numa ilha da Noruega, a 140 quilómetros do Círculo Polar Árctico. A intenção é viver sossegadamente, longe da vertigem da cidade e dos sucessivos dramas familiares. Essa decisão vai fazer com que conheça Yasha, um imigrante russo criado nos EUA, que ali se encontra para deixar as cinzas do falecido pai. Num lugar onde a noite é luminosa, longe de tudo o que conhecem, os dois sentem-se estranhamente próximos. Lado a lado, dão-se conta de que é chegado o momento de esquecer o passado e avançar.

A gorgeous and frequently emotional rumination on the “big things” in life, James Gallagher’s new short film, Love, poses questions on what we love, why we love it, and what happens when the desire to win becomes detrimental to our experience of ourselves and other people. While that description seems preachy, the film is not didactic—on the contrary, its plot is extremely loose and impressionistic, requiring the viewer some effort to construct its fast-moving snippets into a coherent narrative.

A company of actors arrive at a castle deep in the Irish countryside and set into motion the story of Shakespeare's Hamlet. The lives of the actors and their characters intertwine as Prince Hamlet confronts the ghost of his father and seeks revenge on the treacherous Claudius, his uncle and newly appointed king. Hamlet's pursuit of vengeance scorches the lives of everyone inside the castle walls and lays bare the many contradictions and ambiguities of human existence. At the play's end, seven days have passed and the actors emerge, leaving the castle and characters behind.
