 A group of very different people brought together by their chronic fear of flying are stranded in the wintry north in the new black comedy by Icelandic director, Hafsteinn Gunnar Sigurðsson.

 A special forces veteran, an uptight property developer, an influencer with half a million followers and an incompetent instructor are thrown together on a high-end fear of flying course. The course’s final challenge is an experience flight from London to Iceland, which ends up being a horrendous ordeal. Lost in Iceland, freezing and terrified, they must find a way to help each other finally face their fears.

Filmed in England, France and Iceland, Northern Comfort is a race against time through the air and through the snow, an improbable adventure where anxiety is contagious, and paranoia lurks around the corner. Starring Timothy Spall (Mr. Turner, Secrets and Lies), Lydia Leonard (The Crown), Sverrir Gudnason and Björn Hlynur Haraldsson.
