The focus is on Una (Elin Hall) and Klara (Katla Nj\u00e1lsd\u00f3ttir), the two young women in Diddi\u2019s life, Klara being his girlfriend in a long-distance relationship. On the day of the accident, Diddi had been driving to break the news to Klara in person that he would be \u00a0ending their relationship, having fallen in love with Una. The new lovers met at university where Una studies art and Diddi is studying drama; the film\u2019s opening shows them\u00a0planning their future together after graduation. Until now, Diddi and Una\u2019s budding romance has been kept secret from their close friends.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of 24 hours, Klara, Una, and three of Diddi\u2019s friends Gunni (Mikael Kaaber), Siggi (Gunnar Hrafn Kristj\u00e1nsson), and Bassi (\u00c1g\u00fast Wigum) commemorate his life by dancing, drinking and reminiscing over their cherished memories with him. As the members of this group celebrate their friendship with Diddi, peer support is shown to be a key factor in helping them come to terms with a devastating, unexpected loss. By hugging and holding each other at this moment of trauma, the friends demonstrate unity in facing their loss together. This is a central motif of the film, repeatedly seen and emphasising the power of a hug to convey a multitude of emotions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4020 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2024\/10\/Ali-Khalid-United-in-Grief.jpg\" alt=\"Ali, Khalid - United in Grief\" width=\"1024\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2024\/10\/Ali-Khalid-United-in-Grief.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2024\/10\/Ali-Khalid-United-in-Grief-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2024\/10\/Ali-Khalid-United-in-Grief-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2024\/10\/Ali-Khalid-United-in-Grief-640x346.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, Una is tormented by the fact that she is now side-lined. Her grief is not acknowledged, as no one else in the group, apart from Gunni, knows the nature of her relationship with Diddi. All the attention and sympathy are directed towards Klara. Initially Una and Klara show mutual hostility, as Klara suspects that Una had been more than a \u2018friend\u2019 to Diddi and ridicules her for studying drama. However, Una resists the urge to reveal the full, hurtful truth to Klara showing kind and dignified restraint.<\/p>\n<p>A brief meeting with Una\u2019s father shows that she realises the similarities between adolescence and adult life when he asks her not to tell her mother (his wife) that he is indulging in junk food. She bargains that she will keep his secret only if he does not tell her mother that she is smoking again. Una now appreciates the absurdity of life; her father, the supposedly mature adult, is acting like an adolescent by hiding a trivial secret. It is not only young adults like her who keep secrets such as her relationship with Diddi, adults do lie too.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of this minimalist yet impactful 82-minute film, Una and Klara (elegantly portrayed by the two lead female actors) understand that their grief and bereavement unite them more meaningfully than painful and unnecessary jealousy and resentment. A scene where they stand next to each other cleaning their teeth in front of a mirror in Diddi\u2019s flat, wearing the same colour T shirt, \u00a0speaks \u00a0volumes about their new kinship. In another scene beside they sea, where Una and Diddi used to meet, Klara muses that \u201cit will be so strange to wake up tomorrow,\u201d Una asks \u201cDo you know what you will do, any plans?\u201d, to which Klara replies; \u201cI have no idea\u201d. The future is unknown, but it is already evident that they will both grow into adults whose lives will forever be influenced \u00a0by their joint loss.\u00a0They are moving on with life, having gained a vital measure of wisdom and maturity.<\/p>\n<p>Post-traumatic growth (PTG) is described as \u201ca significant beneficial change in cognitive and emotional life that may have behavioural implications.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a> Individuals who experience PTG can emerge with several positive changes, such as higher appreciation of life, more compassion for others, and the thought of new possibilities.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/a> While they remember their collective loss, they can still move on with life.<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/a> In addition, a stable continuing bond can be established between the deceased peers. <em>\u2018When the light breaks\u2019<\/em> captures the key themes of PTG poignantly as Una and Klara contend with loss and develop into resilient characters who are almost ready to face their future. They might even become close friends after the light breaks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read Khalid Ali&#8217;s review of <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/2018\/10\/10\/recovering-from-collective-trauma-utoya\/\"><strong><em>Ut\u00f8ya 22. juli <\/em>on the <em>Medical Humanities<\/em> blog<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> Noppe, I.
