A rebellious 17 year old student (Tomas Lemarquis) is dissatisfied with his life in a remote Icelandic town. He meets a girl (Kristmunder Kristmundersson) who works at a petrol station and together they dream of a world away from the monotony of their small town existence.
This is only the second Icelandic film I have seen and I was extremely impressed by it. The acting was very professional, the cinematography worked well in creating atmosphere and the music, which I believe was by the director's band, was very apt for the story.
The story was very simple but I feel that simple stories can often work much better than a highly complex and over indulgent pieces.
The main characters restlessness probably strikes a chord with many people who as teenagers living in a small town yearned for somewhere and something different.
A Very well made and interesting piece which I would highly recommend.
