Bye Bye Bluebird

After having lived for a number of years abroad, the two friends Rannvá and Barba return for a visit to their native country, the Faroe Islands. They feel that they have outgrown the small island community, and present themselves in outrageous colorful clothing and with a superior attitude to all things Faroese. The real purpose of their visit is to solve unfinished family matters, but they soon lose focus, and find themselves fleeing the answers they came looking for. The girls are rescued by Rúni, a local fisherman, who gives them a lift in his old Ford Granada, decorated with zebra covers, flower lights and a stuffed crocodile in the back. On their journey up north they meet, among others, a fallen rock-singer, missionary grandparents, thirsty wedding guests and a Jesus wannabe. Rúni is constantly running mysterious errands, there is always someone he has to meet. The short route north develops into a long roundabout, across the islands, as skeletons begin to find their way out of the closet. This is a film about hypocrisy, broken dreams, and finding oneself. The story is told with a mixture of sadness and satirical humor. —IMDb
