This second feature film by Hlynur Pálmason paints the portrait of a lonely man who feels abandoned and who is experiencing sorrow, doubt and anger, brilliantly interpreted by Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson. He suspects a local man of having had an affair with his late wife, who died in a tragic accident two years earlier. Gradually his obsession for finding out the truth accumulates and inevitably begins to endanger himself and his loved ones. A story of grief, revenge and unconditional love.
