In the rigorously Nordic saga 'The Love That Remains' by Iceland's Hlynur Pálmason, we meet Anna, Magnus, their three kids, and their superstar dog Panda. This cinematic gem unfolds their divorce saga with breathtaking visuals calibrated on Pálmason’s artful dream team vibes from 'Godland' and 'A White, White Day'. While human hearts unravel, Panda clinched the prestigious Palm Dog Award at Cannes 2026, effortlessly upstaging all pussyfooting adults.
