What is this project all about?
The film sheds light on the university life of a group of foreign students in a small Icelandic town called ísafjörður. The city has a population of less than 2,500 people. There is one small university in the city. Most of its employees and students are foreigners. How do they spend their daily life in there?
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
The film poses many questions to students. Why did they decide to study in a small town? What does their life look like in it? Do they have difficulties? Is it easy to make friends? How has the Corona pandemic affected life in Iceland?
The film is for everyone interested in learning about different cultures and stories.
