GRIT - RUNNING ACROSS ICELAND

In the summer of 2022, three amateur trail runners set out to run across Iceland, covering 340 kilometres from the north to the south of the country in eight days. Strangers at the outset, GRIT follows the three women as they band together, interweaving individual battles and motivations with one common goal. To associate success with the distance covered, however, would be entirely missing the point. Grappling with the extreme physical and mental demands that ultra distances entail, each runner must inevitably face the question: what is pushing the limits, and what is going too far?

The answer may vary, but one thing is clear for all: the greatest performance has nothing to do with the finish line.
