It won two Goya Awards in 1999. The film tells the story of Otto and Ana (whose names are palindromes), from their chance meeting outside school at the age of 8, until they meet again in their 20s in Lapland within the Arctic Circle, under the midnight sun. The themes developed in the film form an important part of Julio Medem's universe, and can be found in his other movies; these include love, death, destiny, nature, the circle of life and the coincidences in life. It received favorable critical reviews.[1] PlotThe movie (told from the point of view of the two main characters), opens with Otto (Fele Martinez) hanging from a tree by a parachute after surviving a fateful plane crash. He reflects, in voice over, on how he met Ana (Najwa Nimri), his stepsister and secret lover. The story goes back seventeen years to when Ana and Otto were eight. Otto first sees Ana while rushing to retrieve a soccer ball in the forest outside school, and is instantly smitten. Ana (we learn through her voice-over) is also immediately enamoured with him, but nothing is spoken. Ana (having run to the forest in grief over her father's death) theorizes that Otto might be his reincarnation, but dismisses the idea after studying her father's picture in a photo album and finding absolutely no resemblance between the two. The next morning Otto writes a question about love on dozens of paper airplanes and sends them flying over the schoolyard where they are read by everyone including Olga and Álvaro (Ana's mother and Otto's father), who meet for the first time while commenting on the question written on the paper. This leads to Álvaro offering Olga a ride. Otto hears his father yelling his name, and runs to the car. Opens the car door. And is shocked to see Ana sitting in the back seat. She greets him warmly and openly. And (through her point of view) we learn that she knows his name through his father's yelling, and is surprised and delighted to see him again. They ride in the back seat. Their parents talk. Otto reveals in voice over that he is by now hopelessly in love, and wonders how Ana feels about him. Neither one of them has siblings. Ana's mother is a widow. Otto's parents are divorced. His mother, Yolanda, isn't taking that too well, but although Otto feels for her, he is thrilled to see his father marry Ana's mother since it means he will be close to his one true love. The story moves forward several years. The two children are now in their middle teens, their unproffessed love fanatically hidden from their parents. Otto's mother, Yolanda, is depressed, having never gotten over the divorce, and Otto is a comfort to her. But although he is concerned about -and feels responsible for- his mother's welfare, his longing for Ana overpowers him. Desire eclipses responsibility, and Otto moves in with his father, desperate for Ana's love. While doing homework together one night, the subject of Finland (The Arctic Circle) comes up. They refer to the midnight sun. Following this conversation, they fall silent, and Ana rests her head on Otto's chest; listening to his heartbeat. This leads to them necking. Soon after, during a family barbecue, Ana passes him a note inviting him to her bedroom. That night he goes to her. They, at last, confront their feelings and become lovers. Several more years pass and we see that they've succeeded in keeping their affair a secret, in spite of the fact that they're conducting it right under the noses of their parents. Yolanda, however, has sunk deeper into depression since Otto's departure. Feeling abandoned by both her husband and her son, she finally commits suicide. Otto, guilt ridden and bereaved, leaves his father's house one morning without saying a word, and essentially disappears. Ana, in utter despair, locks herself in her room and cries. Her mother asks why she's sobbing but she refuses to answer. She leaves home and becomes a school teacher. Time passes. Otto falls into a series of fatuous affairs. During one of them, the subject of his mother comes up. "She died of love", he says to the girl. "How does one die of love?", the girl asks. "She died abandoned." They almost meet again at a park where they arrive without knowing the other one is there, and sit with their backs to each other oblivious to the other one's presence. Otto sits alone. Ana is approached by a man who wants to talk to her. And although all they would have is turn around to see the other one sitting there, that never happens and it's clear that something karmic has been shattered. Ana falls into an affair with the man in the park. Her mother Olga, meanwhile, has been seduced away from Álvaro by another man (also named Álvaro) and has ended their marriage. Otto goes home to find Ana gone, and his father distraught over Olga leaving him. Running through the story like a thread is the subplot of how Otto got his name: There was a German fighter pilot during WWII named Otto who's plane crashed in Finland. He fell in love with a woman. He's related to Yolanda. The other Otto understands that because he has left Ana, he has been left without a destiny. He becomes a pilot like his namesake. Flying to Finland. A fact which is cheerfully communicated to Ana through her mother who makes a video of herself relaying the information. Soon after, Ana's affair with the man in the park turns dangerously sour, and she's forced to take steps to get away from him. Olga's lover knows someone who has a cabin in Finland: He is none other than the man Otto was named for. The German pilot who's plane crashed during WWII. Olga's lover makes it clear the cabin is just sitting there empty, and that the German pilot will be more than willing to let her use it until the crisis with her lover blows over. Ana accepts, and writes a letter to her stepbrother: She wants them to meet in Finland. The time has come to reclaim their love. While on the flight to her destination, Ana looks out and sees Otto's cargo plane but it doesn't occur to her that it's his. Almost simultaneously, Otto looks out the window of his cargo plane and sees the 747 his stepsister is on but is equally oblivious. Ana arrives at the cabin, and sits outside in a straight back chair, waiting for Otto to arrive. When he doesn't, she panics. Otto, meanwhile, hangs from a tree, having survived the plane crash just like his namesake. His parachute is caught in the branches. Bringing us to the beginning of the movie. Ana, hearing that a cargo plane has crashed, frantically tries to find out if the plane was Otto's. While tearing through the local newspaper looking for clues, she crosses the street and gets hit by a truck. By this time, Otto has been rescued. He's hitched a ride with his helpers. There's a final, two-part epilogue: In the first part, we see Ana crossing the street instead of getting hit by the truck. She runs up the stairs of an apartment building and is greeted by the German pilot who tells her that someone inside the apartment is waiting for her. She goes inside and sees Otto who's smiling warmly. They exchange soft words, and she embraces him, making it the perfect reunion. Until it's seen that Ana's eyes are wide open and dilated and that Otto's face is reflected in the lenses. In the second part, Otto and his rescuers have stopped at an intersection. Otto, seeing Ana sprawled on the pavement, gets out of the car and runs to her. It then cuts to their reunion (which is only a dream), and it's revealed that Otto's face in Ana's eyes is the reflection of him leaning over her as she sees him one last time before dying. We see a shot of Otto's destroyed cargo plane in the snow. ProductionLovers of the Arctic Circle was shot in Madrid and in various locations in Finland.[1]Julio Medem based part of the film on his own experience of unrequited teenage love for his next door neighbor.[2] He also included a reference to his Basque mother and German father in a scene in which a Basque farmer rescues a stranded German paratrooper. Medem said this was "a way of bringing together the two sides of my family."[3] AwardsThe film was nominated for four Goya Awards and won for Best Editing and Best Original Score. Julio Medem also received the Audience Award at the 2000 Athens International Film Festival and the Audience Award for Best Latin Film at the Gramado Film Festival. The film also won an Ondas Award for Best Spanish Film and Najwa Nimri won for Best Actress.[4] References1. ^{{cite web |url= https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133363/locations |title= Filming Locations for Los Amantes del Círculo Polar |accessdate=2008-08-22 |format= |work= }} 2. ^{{cite web |url= http://articles.latimes.com/1999/apr/23/entertainment/ca-30207 |title= Personal Journey of Medem’s ‘Lovers’ |accessdate=2008-08-22 |author= Lorenza Munoz |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= 1999-04-23 |year= |month= |format= |work= |publisher= the Los Angeles Times |pages= F–2 |language= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |quote= }} 3. ^{{cite web |url= https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C07E4DA1E31F93BA15750C0A96F958260 |title= Exploring Love in the Arctic, Finding Success in Spain |accessdate=2008-08-22 |author= Leslie Camhi |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= 1999-03-29|month= |format= |work= |publisher= the New York Times |pages= |language= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |quote= }} 4. ^{{cite web |url= https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133363/awards|title= Awards for Los Amantes del Círculo Polar |accessdate=2008-08-22 |format= |work= }} External links
