The film is shot in Skaftahreppur a district of Iceland situated in the south of the islande. A part of the film was also shot in Reykjavik. Skaftahreppur is a special district since a large part of it is covered by lava that is originated by the Lakagigar eruption. This has greatly influenced the landscape but also the people living there and consequently the film and the shooting.

The director of the photography is Lubomir Backchev (La graine et le mulet, L’esquive).
The music is improvised by Skuli Sverrisson, recorded in New-York. Skuli Sverrisson is an Icelandic bass player. His music is profound and clear.
Both men have done a amazing work.

walking in a dream

“Sister of tears
Sister of angers,
you are the hidden beauty
of flowers.”

The entire poem (french) :

Pure exaltation
Exaltation pure
Clair, diffusant dans les airs
Le parfum des stellaires
Petite sœur,
De colère et de pleurs
Tu es la beauté
cachée
Des fleurs
Leur bonheur
Leur humeur,
Décalant le monde
Vers le gris et le bleu
Décalant le monde
De tes marées, supportant,
Les vent dominants
De ta voix
De ton chant
De ta soie
Du battement
De tes doigts
Sur les toits.
