In a remote Icelandic farming valley, two brothers – a hard-drinking Icelandic farmer (Theodór Júlíusson) and his estranged brother (Sigurður Sigurjónsson) – who haven’t spoken in 40 years have to come together in order to save what’s dearest to them – their sheep. Blackly comic and very rewarding.
“Strangely involving; it’s a movie that sneaks up on you, right up to the bursting-dam emotion of its extraordinary closing scenes.” (Jason Bailey – Flavorwire)
