A men’s choir decides to go to Sweden and Germany. Shortly before their departure the choir director, Max, dies and is mourned by the choir and especially by their accompanist Magga, whom he was in love with. In deference to Max’s memory, they embark upon a mission of song and companionship, in order to adjust to their loss. —Icelandic Film Centre
