About Dovetail
Aron is trying his best to cope with life. In search of serenity, he imitates male stereotypes and dives into all the cliches of the material world. However, underneath all the perfect appearance, lies something tragic and unexpected.
Directed by Magnús Leifsson, Dovetail leans on a strong ensemble — Sveinn Ólafur Gunnarsson, Maríanna Clara Luthersdóttir, Steinþór Hróar Steinþórsson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2018.
