Fúsi, a loner and an outsider, is a mountain of a man. The forty-year-old obese metal fan still lives with his mother. A gift of dancing classes leads to an encounter with the vivacious but damaged Sjöfn. Unused to interacting with others, Fúsi instinctively decides to take both their lives in hand.

This strange and bittersweet romance from Icelandic auteur Dagur Kári takes a sideways look at the life of a lonely man with a big heart and an even bigger body. A dark romantic comedy of outsiders, Virgin Mountain brims with compassion for difference, and with hope for starting again.
