Synopsis

Trois histoires, quelque part en Islande. Mori, ancien écrivain à succès, alcoolique, tente toujours, 20 ans après, de digérer le dur coup du destin qui l'a frappé alors qu’il soumet un nouveau manuscrit à son éditeur. Eik, mère célibataire, ne gagne pas suffisamment pour nourrir sa famille avec son job de jardinière d’enfants et se résigne à vendre son corps. Sölvi, ancien footballeur et banquier prometteur, accepte des mandats douteux pour plaire à son chef, jusqu’à s’éloigner de sa famille. Trois individus qui mènent, à leur manière, une double vie. Trois individus dont les destins se croisent et s’influencent.
