Synopsis:
This haunting and poetic tale of a suicidal American (Keith Carradine) who meets a free-spirited girl (Margret Vihjalmsdottir) is directed by cult film-maker Fridik Thor Fridriksson (Cold Fever, Devil`s Island). When an ex-con returns to Iceland - the land of his mother`s birth - he meets an eccentric artist called Dua, whom he believes may be his daughter. After a close scrape with the law, the pair flee Iceland for Hamburg with a rare Icelandic falcon and a plan that they hope will set them on the road to riches. This lyrical and visually stunning film explores the nature of freedom, the complexities of relationships and the unexpected ways that they may occur whilst capturing the stunning beauty of the Icelandic countryside.
