Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot during Iceland's COVID restrictions, the empty streets became an accidental metaphor for Sara's isolation. The crew was literally the only people allowed to gather.
Creator Julia Margret Einarsdottir based Sara's poetry on her own abandoned notebooks from her twenties, written in the margins of corporate meeting agendas.
