Natatorium is directed by Helena Stefánsdóttir with Ilmur María Arnarsdóttir, Arnar Dan Kristjánsson, Kristín Pétursdóttir, Elin Petersdottir and Stefania Berndsen.

A young girl stays with her estranged grandparents in the city while she waits for the results of her audition for an international performance group. Her grandparents welcome her, delighted about the chance to get to know their granddaughter better.

While staying at the house, the girl gets to know her uncle, who suffers from a mysterious long-term lung illness and is mainly confined to bed. She also observes her grandmother's weird religious rituals, some involving a swimming pool in the basement.
When the girl's father finds out that she is staying with his parents, he persuades his sister to visit the house to get her out, ending with a terrible tragedy.

‘Natatorium’ Original Score :

Jacob Groth’s score for psychological drama ‘Natatorium’ has been released on Naxos Denmark as a 5-track EP.
The icelandic thriller ‘Natatorium’ is written and directed by Helena Stefáns Magneudóttir and centres around 18 year old Lilja, who becomes involved in the dark past of her family and life-threatening secrets, when she visits her grandparents, whom she barely knows.
The grandparents’ house are described in the musical mystic on ‘Living House’. Muted piano melodies are weaven into the darkness like light, naive footsteps. Vocals glide forwards slowly and conclude the EP with the more vocal-based ‘After Thoughts’, where you hear Hannah Schneider and Troels Abrahamsen in grand, Nordic nostalgia.
