Breaking Surface

Nokkrum dögum eftir jól halda hálfsysturnar Ida og Tuva út í köfunarleiðangur við norsku strandlengjuna. Við enda leiðangursins fellur grjótskriða sem veldur því að Tuva festist neðansjávar. Systurnr eru fullkomlega bjargarlausar og hafa enga möguleika á að kalla eftir hjálp. Upphefst nú örvæntingarfull lífsbarátta sem verður lokamælikvarðinn á atgervi og útsjónarsemi Idu. Á meðan Ida berst við að bjarga systur sinni afhjúpast brestirnir í sambandi þeirra og þegar allt virðist tapað kemur í ljós að það er miklu meira í húfi.

A few days after Christmas, Swedish/Norwegian half-sisters, Ida and Tuva, set out on a winter dive in a remote part of the Norwegian coastline. Towards the end of the dive, a rockslide traps Tuva underwater. As Ida surfaces to call for help, she discovers that the rockslide has struck above water as well, burying their equipment, phones and car keys… they are completely cut off from any chance of outside rescue. As the frantic race for survival unfolds, Ida is put to the ultimate test of character and forcefulness. During Ida’s fight to save Tuva, a fractured sisterhood is exposed, and when all seems lost, the stakes rise beyond simple survival.
