“Adolescence is like a second birth. In the first a child is born, in the second, a man or a woman. And it’s always painful.” Jean Jacques Rousseau
The most significant part of an iceberg is unseen. Icebergs do not appear in adults. Icebergs are the world of adolescence, of which only a tip appears, a small part of the vast universe that lies behind them. For the first time, these kids face their first big problem by themselves: their iceberg. Three interwoven stories of “teenage silence” in a winter river as it flows by a small city. With notable cinematography and a magnificent cast of non-actors wonderfully directed by Gabriel Velázquez, Iceberg has been a staple in a festival circuit that included the Rotterdam Film Festival.
