The film transplants Chekhov’s Ivanov to a remote island off Iceland’s north shore. Literature professor Jon is about to marry his former student Thora. Her parents are the island’s most prominent family. The nuptials are endangered by financial disputes and by Jon’s past. This is not his first marriage, and Jon’s guilt over the way things ended with his first wife and his doubts about his worthiness may be the biggest blocks to the wedding. As Thora points out, Jon tends to make things complicated.

Q&A with Baltasar Kormákur, director of White Night Wedding: April 2nd, Thursday, Toldi cinema, 21.15, after the screening!
