Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Haunted by the indelible mark of loss and silent grief, sad-eyed María and her taciturn husband, Ingvar, seek solace in back-breaking work and the demanding schedule at their sheep farm in the remote, harsh, wind-swept landscapes of mountainous Iceland. Then, with their relationship hanging on by a thread, something unexplainable happens, and just like that, happiness blesses the couple's grim household once more. Now, as a painful ending gives birth to a new beginning, Ingvar's troubled brother, Pétur, arrives at the farmhouse, threatening María and Ingvar's delicate, newfound bliss. But, nature's gifts demand sacrifice. How far are ecstatic María and Ingvar willing to go in the name of love? Written by Nick Riganas |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Highest grossing motion picture in the history of Icelandic cinema, as of 2021, earning over million dollars on the first weekend alone. This also makes this film the most attended Icelandic film shown in U.S. theaters ever (again on the first weekend alone), and this despite being pitted against such big-name blockbusters like the James Bond franchise, which premiered in USA theaters on that same weekend.
