The Mountain

Overview

Electrician Atli, his wife María, an astronomer, and their daughter, musician Anna, live in Iceland. María plans a trip with her family into the highlands to photograph a comet she thinks she's discovered. When the day comes, Atli and Anna have made other plans and cannot go with her. That twist of fate upends all their lives and leads them into a different orbit.
