In a coming-of-age tale of sex and silent cinema, a gay Danish boy escapes the monotony of his isolated life through his imagination - a hallucinatory experience where the line between the silver screen and reality blur against the unforgiving Icelandic backdrop of 1918 when the Spanish Flu ravaged the population leaving a sprawling expense for Máni's imagery to flourish. I felt obtuse at times, which will prompt me to revisit in the near future.
