Script: The children at Sævarenda 

Article: horror, feature film 

The Children of Sævarenda is a dark and suspenseful thriller set in Gardabae, a quiet and affluent neighborhood in Iceland. The story revolves around Ölba, a 17-year-old girl who has a difficult relationship with her controlling parents and increasingly feels that something serious is wrong – both at home and within herself. When Magnea, Ölba’s best friend from childhood, dies under suspicious circumstances, Alba is drawn into a terrifying search for answers. She begins to lose her grip on reality as old wounds flare up, strange symbols appear everywhere, and memories of the past – and her feelings for Magnea – become entangled with something dark and frightening. Forced to delve deeper to find the truth about herself, Alba finds herself in the middle of a conspiracy that extends far beyond her family and changes everything she thought was true.
