The Juniper Tree

This stark, stunning debut feature is loosely based on a Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name, and stars Bjork in her first on-screen performance.

Set in medieval Iceland, THE JUNIPER TREE follows Margit (BjorK) and her older sister Katla as they flee for safety after their mother is burned to death for witchcraft. Finding shelter and protection with Johan, and his resentful young son, Jonas, the sisters help form an impromptu family unit that's soon strained by Katla's burgeoning sorcery.

Nominated for the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
