Halla, in her fifties, declares war on the local aluminium industry that scars her country. Benedikt Erlingsson directs this quietly fierce drama with a blend of dark humour and human warmth. As Halla risks everything to protect Iceland’s highlands, an unexpected orphan enters her life, forcing small domestic moments to collide with political resistance. The film explores solitude, activism and the ethics of protest through striking landscapes, intimate performances and a tonal balance between satire and tenderness.
Film screening and discussion exclusively for 15–25 year-olds.
