Iceland's official submission to the Academy Awards® for Best International Feature Film.
 
The Beautiful Beings Blu-ray follows Addi, a boy raised by a clairvoyant mother, who adopts a bullied misfit into his gang of outsiders. Left to their own devices, the boys explore aggression and violence while also learning about loyalty and love. As their behaviour escalates toward life-threatening situations, Addi begins experiencing dreamlike visions that blur intuition and fate. Can these visions guide him and his friends back to a safer path, or will they spiral further into darkness?
 
Guðmundur Arnar Guðmundsson follows up his acclaimed film Heartstone with an intimate, emotionally charged coming-of-age drama that “shakes you up before it melts your heart” (Eye For Film).
