Woman at War

Halla declares a one-woman-war on the local aluminum industry. She is prepared to risk everything to protect the pristine Icelandic Highlands she loves… Until a Ukrainian orphan unexpectedly enters her life.

Winner of the SACD Prize in Cannes, the new film from Benedikt Erlingsson (Of Horses and Men) winningly mixes absurdist comedy and tense thriller. “Is there anything rarer than an intelligent feel-good film that knows how to tackle urgent global issues with humor as well as a satisfying sense of justice?”, asks Jay Weissberg of Variety.
