Fiction

I walk in a circle
around everything which is.
And within this circle
is your world.
My shadow fell for a moment
on the window’s glass.

I walk in a circle
around everything which is.
And outside this circle
is my world.

(‘Outside the Circle’ by Steinn Steinarr, translated by Alan Thompson)

O is a humanistic and poetic story of a fragile man trying to achieve a simple task where his main obstacle is within himself.

Statement of the director:
“The grey scale of life” is a vital element of my filmmaking. Everything is multi-layered or has different and often opposite emotions and perspectives to it. The moments in life that are black or white or few. We spend our lives traveling on the spectrum between the two.
