“With Emil, the main character of Winter Brothers, I explore the lack of love or desire and the need to be desired and loved. With Emil, I wanted to describe all of that in cinematographic language. Emil desperately hangs on to someone or something, but at the same time he is foreign to it. I tried to pare him down to the extent that only his primal instincts appeared. Perhaps that is why he suffers so much. He has the wisdom of idiots. Maybe he is a little out of step from his period” (Hlynur Pálmason).
