White Wall Cinema: THE LOVE THAT REMAINS | NEW RELEASE SPECIAL

One of the most anticipated White Wall screenings of 2026, The Love That Remains is a delicately woven family drama that pushes against cinematic convention and instead offers a deliberately non-sensationalist tableau of modern familial dynamics, infusing its fractured narrative with an ethereal sensation layered over its characters’ distinctly quotidian lifestyles.

Director Hlynur Pálmason’s story follows Anna (Saga Garðarsdóttir), a sculptor and visual artist (who works with themes of decomposition and decay), and her husband, Magnús (Sverrir Gudnason), who is often away for weeks at a time enduring the frigid conditions aboard an industrial fishing trawler. Three children, a dog and a few chickens complete the family unit, whom we now track through the course of the year as Anna and Magnús attempt to work through the uncertain terrain of their marital separation.

The result is a breath of fresh Icelandic air: a film that stimulates aesthetically, psychologically and emotionally. Boasting 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, it is not to be missed on the big screen. You won’t see anything quite like it this year, or maybe next (or probably even the year after).
