Icelandic with English subtitles
Two long-ago friends, discarded by modern life and their families, rediscover each other in an efficient, up-to-date retirement home, but they really want to go back to the island they knew as children. After careful planning and the theft of a small car, they head out on their long journey. There are certainly obstacles along the way – mechanical, human, and natural, but they persevere. With success will come new dangers on the now deserted island, but they are far happier in tracing a full circle in their lives. Academy Award nominee and winner of various international awards.
