Time And Water Documentary Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: Renowned Icelandic poet and author, Andri Snær Magnason, is chasing something elusive. As the glacial ice of his homeland melts, he constructs a cinematic time capsule to hold onto this moment and send it to the future, before everything he loves slips away. Using his own collected archives, his grandparents’ photographs and films as well as traditional songs and folktales, Andri interlaces his family’s story with that of the land around him. From Academy Award®-nominated director Sara Dosa, TIME AND WATER is a universal reflection on the power of home and what it means to be alive amid profound epochal change.

00:13Hello. Hello. Hello.
00:21I hope that this will reach you. I am speaking to you from the year 2026.
00:30We are a family of the first. My grandparents were some of the first to explore Iceland's glaciers.
00:43But I became the first to say goodbye to something we never thought we could lose.
01:01I want you to know glaciers as my grandparents did.
01:08To hold ice is to hold the earth's memories in your hand.
01:29My sense of home is skipping away.
01:45I am not ready to say goodbye.
01:52I cannot send you a glacier.
01:57But at least I can send you this.
01:59I don't know.
