A shipwreck occurs during a harsh winter, in a particularly isolated area of 19th-century Iceland. A community of fishermen is faced with a terrible dilemma: save the shipwrecked crew or survive the winter with the last of their provisions. Their decision will have far-reaching consequences.
Thordur Palsson, the talented director of the acclaimed Valhalla Murders series, has made a particularly successful first feature, skilfully blending the hostility of nature with the horror of the situation. An atmospheric, high-voltage movie that is a must-see on the big screen, and which will to continue to haunt the mind for a long time to come.
