The Ground Beneath Our Feet

Grund is the oldest still operating nursing home in Iceland, nearly 100 years old, where Yrsa Roca Fannberg has worked as an auxiliary nurse for many years. The protagonists of the film know her as someone who helps them with their daily needs. The narrative of the film is those everyday moments that Yrsa has witnessed and experienced, the beauty and grief of life at Grund. We see the relatives, the staff and the residents, their interactions in mundane activities such as helping with daily needs, having coffee, conversations and in more fragile and sorrowful moments, including the moment when they die. Show me the beauty and the grief of the old people at Grund! From the Earth we come and to Her we shall return.
