Rainbow’s End tells the story of inter-generational family conflict. Is a haunting work that remains as affecting and original today as when it was first released.

María has fled her home of Germany in the wake of the aftermath of the second world war and comes to Iceland to work on a farm.

The film is about a little boy, living in the centre of Reykjavík during the first years of Second World War. While poverty is still a fact of life, the business of war slowly begins to affect people's lives. Gradually, the terrors of war filter through into the young boy's mind.
