The main actors in Icelandic coming-of-age film Heartstone (Hjartasteinn) by Gu\u00f0mundur Arnar Gu\u00f0mundsson, Baldur Einarsson and Bl\u00e6r Hinriksson, were both named Best Actor at the Marrakech International Film Festival on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Heartstone has been hugely successful at film festivals this year. It competed for the main prize at Venice, winning the Queer Lion Award, and received three prizes in Warsaw<\/strong>, ruv.is reports.<\/p>\n

In October, Heartstone claimed the Gold Q Hugo prize in the Outlook category at the Chicago International Film Festival, featuring LGBT-themed films. The jury concluded that the film had earned the prize: \u201cFor its piercingly honest portrait of adolescent sexuality, its alternately tough and warm empathy, and for how it effortlessly and evocatively captures a place and time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film takes place in a small fishing village in Iceland in the summer time. This is an emotional coming-of-age story about the strong friendship between two boys. One of them is in love with a young girl in the neighborhood, but the other one gradually discovers that his feelings for his friend are deeper than he had realized.<\/p>\n

Heartstone will premier in Iceland in the New Year.<\/p>\n
