An escaped convict flees into the Icelandic highlands, and is pulled into a mysterious world where time and nature move differently.
A collaboration between Hikapee & Huldufugl, Fallax is Iceland's first film in VR, incorporating motion captured circus performers, and loosely inspired by the country's nature and folklore.
