The Ground Beneath Our Feet
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 textural 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, when there is nowhere to go after Grund but the ground itself.
