Audience Member Marked by a dry sense of humour, this lighthearted Icelandic comedy is about two very different colleagues who unexpectedly over a weekend at work find condolences in each other for their failed romances and undergo a switch in their relationship status. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Two fellas are working together in the middle of nowhere on Iceland. They set poles to ground next to the roads and paints yellow stripes in the middle of them, five meters apart. Alfred and Finnbogi know eachother. Finnbogi is married to Alfreds sister. She is in Vienna while they are working. Alfred is only 24 and likes to party and get laid in the weekends. They share a lot, they fight a bit. There are ups, there are downs. Few other people are involved, only a truckdriver really, that regularly shares some quality moonshine with the workers before he get's back on the road. I like this film for it's simplicity and it looks. The stories and the acting. Atypical like most Icelandic flicks and a short little treat. Remade as "Prince Avalanche" two years later with names like Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch. It's does not look as bad as it should, but I'll doubt is better than this one. 7 out of 10 bottles of Hagavadallin.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Seriously, nothing happens in this film. The most interesting thing that happens is that one of the guys catches two fish. The scenery is panoramic but uninteresting - volcanic rubble. The moonscape is more diversified. Same lines occur over and over, the most annoying being, "We have to get you laid." Unbelievably tedious. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member The relationship of and between 2 men in the vast and emptiness of Iceland. Their journey seems like their work, endless and useless because it is repetitive.. but despite this.. it shows how friendship is important! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is beautiful in it's sparseness and bare bones storytelling. Two men whose job is to paint lines on a desolate Icelandic highway deal with their problems with love. Believable dialogue and evenly paced.
