A moment that changes everything: Just a moment ago, art student Una was enjoying the picturesque sunset on the Icelandic coast with her new boyfriend Diddi and dreaming of a future as a couple, when he is suddenly and unexpectedly torn from her life in a terrible car accident. Together with Diddi's best friend Gunni and their group of friends, she spends a day remembering a loved one. As they wander through the pubs and streets of Reykjavik, bathed in bright light from the long polar day, the clique mourns, celebrates, argues and reconciles. But while the group forges an invisible bond and gathers new strength in each other, Una is plagued by remorse. Before the midnight sun sinks behind the horizon once again, she is forced to face an uncomfortable truth and make a long-delayed confession.
Sensitive, direct and free of clichés, the film accompanies a group of young people through the "day after". With great sensitivity and a dose of tragicomedy, it tells of grief, consolation and friendship that makes it possible to overcome even the darkest hours - and of the sunrise that follows every night, no matter how dark.
