“WE ARE GOING TO CANNES!!!”

This is the first time that a Faroese film is selected for the Cannes festival, which is considered the most prestigious film festival in Europe.

“I am incredibly thankful for this amazing opportunity, and eternally grateful for the crew that stood behind this little chaotic film,” he tweeted.
