About

An epic tale of survival, based on a true story

As night turns into day over the ice-cold waters off the coast of Iceland, a young fisherman finds his boat sinking. With his hopes of survival quickly drifting away, we witness his journey through the hopes, fears, and regrets of his unresolved life.

Featuring projection and live choral music from regional choirs, this monologue presents a moving story of the fishing community and a touching tribute to those lost at sea.

Written by Jón Atli Jónasson, The Deep was turned into a successful film in Iceland and won many awards including Best Filmscript of the Year.
