- Synopsis
- “I set out to find myself.”
  Jean decides to set off on a journey of no return to a country destroyed by war. But nothing goes exactly as planned. His despair soon seems derisory in the face of the fate of those who welcome him, clinging to the slightest hope of reconstruction. As he is bonding with them, the urgency to end the war becomes less pressing, to the point where Jean gradually rediscovers the meaning of his existence.
  
  Based on the novel Hôtel Silence (Ör) by author Audur Ava Ólafsdóttir
