Lamb follows a couple in rural Iceland, who discover a strange and unnatural newborn in their sheep barn. Deciding to raise her as their own, they soon face the consequences of defying the will of nature in this dark and atmospheric folktale.
An audacious, genre-defying mix of horror and folklore, Lamb is the debut feature from Icelandic writer-director Valdimar Jóhannsson.
Winner of the Prize of Originality award at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival and featuring a standout performance from Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), this uniquely unsettling experience will be unlike anything you've seen before.
