Another highly distinctive screening… Our first foray into Icelandic cinema tells the story of two estranged brothers living on the family sheep farm in adjacent houses. They both tend award-winning flocks – the only things they care about – so when scrapie strikes and both flocks must be put down, the brothers react strongly and force the unexpected climax… A thoughtful, quietly powerful study of the challenges of family and nature.
