The Love That Remains

A separating couple find unexpected joys in family, art, routine and maybe something deeper, in this playful drama from the director of Godland.

Godland director Hlynur Pálmason’s inventive fourth feature is a witty yet tender portrait of a year in the life of a family whose parents are navigating separation. Punctuated with humour (including scenes of outrageous mansplaining and serious self-sabotage), quirky fantasy and a scene-stealing dog, the film elegantly portrays the bittersweet realities of negotiating faded love’s new normal.
