Hjörleifur
Los noruegos arrasan un poblado de Islandia pero uno de ellos se apiada de un niño. Transcurrido el tiempo el niño se hace hombre y busca venganza. Primera entrega de la "Trilogía de los Vikingos" dirigida por Hrafn Gunnlaugsson, inspirada en el western y el cine de samuráis; de hecho es un remake libre de "Por un puñado de dólares", quien a su vez era una versión del clásico "Yojimbo", de Akira Kurosawa.
Benjamín Eiríksson, a middle-aged man, has reached a cross-road in his life. A pioneer in engineering, who has achieved all the goals open to him in his profession. A respected father and loving husband, his heart is now silent. His children are leaving home, his wife is estranged from him. The vast power-stations, once the proud symbols of his ingenuity and creativity, now appear merely stark monuments to vanity and futility. Craving love, friendship, understanding, he tries to make a fresh start, in search of a life of adventure, a life with meaning.
