Synopsis

In the remote north of Iceland in the mid 1980s, Finn and Alfred, two employees of the Icelandic Road Administration, spend the summer painting lines on the winding roads that stretch out to the horizon. With no-one but each other for company, the barren wilderness becomes a place of adventure, disaster and discovery as both men find themselves. –San Sebastián International Film Festival

This simple little film of men and their wants and needs set against the barren landscape or rural Iceland has several lovely, honest moments of writing and is also a nice subtle musing on Judgement. It doesn't really elevate itself enough to become truly memorable however nor develop enough story-wise. 2.5 stars

In Iceland it wasn't a box office success, maybe too much different then other national feature film. Best Film at Torino Film Festival and probably it was. Simple, cheap, amazing; a good young director. Is there anyone who knows the title of its icelandic songs?
