The film opens with a wedding rehearsal at a small church in an isolated barren landscape. At the altar groom-to-be Jon, a middle-aged literature professor, is repeatedly interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone, much to the minister's annoyance. The present narrative alternates with flashbacks that depiction the disintegration of Jon's first marriage to sensitive artist Anna. Jon's new bride-to-be, Thora, is a former student half his age, which triggers disapproval by some, including his future in-laws. <ref name="blue eyes">[http://www.blueeyes.is/Films/White-Night-Wedding/ White Night Wedding (Original title: Brúdgummin] Retrieved 2011-09-24.</ref> As preparations for the wedding unfold during the "white night" (the shortest night of the year, when it is never fully dark), the reason for Jon's increasing reluctance to marry is revealed: he and Anna visited the same spot a year earlier, and she died in an accident after she found Jon and Thora making love. The marriage finally takes place, and Jon and Thora settle down to a life very much like the one he had with Anna.
