| Brief Description: | In 1950s Iceland, in the abandoned U.S. military barracks on Reykjavik, two brothers raised by their grandparents try to find satisfaction in their impoverished surroundings while dreaming of the good life in America. The director of Cold Fever brings hard-edged humor and humanity to this bittersweet story of his country at the dawn of its independence. "[A] vividly realized, comic and pungent slice of life" (Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times). In Icelandic with English subtitles. |
