The Seagull's Laughter (Icelandic: Mávahlátur) is a 2001 Icelandic film directed by Ágúst Guðmundsson. It was Iceland's submission to the 74th Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not accepted as a nominee. It stars Ugla Egilsdóttir as Agga, an orphaned pre-teen distrusting of her cousin Freyja, played by Margrét Vilhjálmsdóttir, who turns heads on her return from America, no longer the chubby teen that the Icelandic townspeople remember.

Synopsis

Freyja (played by Margrét Vilhjálmsdóttir) returns to Iceland from America after her American army officer husband died of heart attack two months before. Freyja, who is dressed in American clothing, brought back 7 luggages of clothes with her from America, and amazes her Icelandic family - Amma, Ninna, Dodo - with her clothes, perfumes, and her having a fridge in America. Agga (played by Ugla Egilsdóttir), Freyja's step cousin, becomes suspicious of Freyja's return. She suspects that Freyja is an evil woman, and should be sent back to America. However, no one actually believes her.
