Distributed by Wanted Cinema, Lamb (Iceland, Poland, Sweden - 2021) will debut in Italian theaters on March 31, 2022. Ahead of the release, the film's official trailer is currently available, online.
Lamb is a surreal "biblical" horror film about the human-animal hybrid, a film inspired by Icelandic folk tales and folklore that marks Valdimar Jóhannsson's directorial debut and stars Noomi Rapace (Men Who Hate Women, Prometheus, You Won't Be Alone).
The story of Lamb sheds light on the lives of Maria (Noomi Rapace) and Ingvar (Hilmir Snær Guðnason), a childless couple living on a farm in Iceland. On Christmas Eve, on their sheep farm the two find an infant who is half human and half lamb. Long eager to have a child, the couple decide to care for the hybrid creature and raise it as if it were their own child, without thinking of the consequences.
The unexpected and mysterious gift will bring joy and hope to the lives of the two adults only to unleash a series of nefarious consequences.
In addition to Noomi Rapace, the cast of Lamb there are also Hilmir Snær Guðnason, Björn Hlynur Haraldsson and Ester Bibi.
