Director Statement

In Iceland, the beauty of the landscape often masks a cold, claustrophobic reality for those caught in the cycle of addiction. With Coming Home I wanted to explore the tragic irony of trying to save the people you love from the very world you are helping to create, where instead of just being another story about drugs the film explores a tender mother-son dynamic. The characters are imperfect, but they're not bad people; they are simply caught in a difficult situational web where they have no room to breathe. By placing a gritty, urban thriller against the backdrop of our isolated North, I hope to showcase a glimpse into stark realities with a story that is as much about the fragility of family as it is about the violence of the lifestyle.
