This Icelandic Saga begins with Gisli, Thorgrim, Thorkel, and Vestein making a blood pact to protect one another. Controversy breaks out when one of the men, Thorgrim, refuses to complete the pact because he does not want any involvement with Vestein. Thorgrim claims that taking on Vestein as a brother is taking on more trouble than he can handle. The scene ends with the men storming off from one another and the blood oath incomplete. The plot begins to unfold when Thorkel hears his wife tell Aud, Gisli’s wife, that she had amorous feelings for Vestein before she married Thorkel, leading Thorkel to suspect his wife was unfaithful.

Dans la campagne austère d'Islande, un village reculé vit de manière séculaire de l'élevage des moutons. Les paysans, qui constituent une communauté solidaire, aiment leurs moutons comme des enfants et organisent chaque année un concours de la plus belle bête. Gummi et Kiddi, deux frères célibataires âgés et hirsutes, qui vivent dans deux maisons voisines en s'ignorant et en se haïssant, ne se sont plus parlé depuis quarante ans. Malgré cette mésentente, ils gèrent chacun de leur côté, sans se parler, la ferme de leur père disparu, constituée de plusieurs centaines de moutons. Dans ce paysage où la vie et la tradition semblent immuables, une très mauvaise nouvelle tombe comme un couperet : certaines bêtes de la vallée, contaminées par l'importation d'ovins d'Angleterre, sont atteintes de la tremblante du mouton et les services sanitaires seront intransigeants et intraitables.
