A story of innocence lost, and then regained, 2 Birds (Smáfuglar in the film’s native tongue, Icelandic) is perhaps the purest and most earnest 15 minutes of film I have ever experienced.

Two Birds (Icelandic: Smáfuglar, lit. Birds) is an award-winning short film, written and directed by Rúnar Rúnarsson. Its official tag line describes it as “A group of young teenagers on a journey from innocence to the stark reality of adulthood.” In the two years after its release it received over 60 awards at film festivals where it was exhibited, including seven Grand Prize awards, seven Best Director awards and two Best Actor awards to male lead Atli Óskar Fjalarsson
