Simon, who has taken too many punches from this world and has done too much time in U.S. prisons, returns to his ancestral homeland, Iceland, resigned to do himself in. Before he can complete the task, he meets Dúa, a free spirit he believes may well be his daughter. Simon rescues Dúa from a close scrape with the law and together they escape to Hamburg, smuggling an Icelandic falcon - once the most prized export of the Vikings. Their plan is to sell it to a wealthy Arab. A great idea - until they try it. Fridrik Thor Fridriksson delivers a subtle and poetic film in the league of his own classics ´Movie Days´, ´Cold Fever´ and ´Devil´s Island´. Seemingly as remote as the Icelandic setting, charismatic connoisseur actor Keith Carradine is in command of every scene and lends his character a calm but powerful presence.

Slowly flowing film, where the main role is played by a pensive sparsely inhabited landscape of Iceland, which influences the characters of the local people. The actual plot is insignificant, in fact intentionally suppressed. On the contrary, the important and attractive aspect for me is the poetic, almost balladic atmosphere, which is emphasized by both main actors. However, Margrét Vihjálmsdóttir is undoubtedly more charismatic. Fridriksson has already made better films, but it is still a piece of honest filmmaking. Overall impression: 70%.
