A murder opens up a bleak trail of long buried secrets and small town corruption for a worn out police detective and his squad.

Post-war provincial Iceland: around 1950, Freyja, who'd been a plump teen, returns from America, a widow with a 20-inch waist, seven suitcases of dresses, and a list of who ever wronged or slighted her. She moves in with an aunt and socialist uncle: finding a new husband is high on her agenda, and she's mistrusted by Agga, a pre-teen who's our eyes and ears. The social order and Freyja are more complicated than they seem at first, and so may be her prospects. Class divisions, families ties, pride, the onset of puberty, and the power of Eros sliver the ice.

A 30-year-old slacker who lives with his mother finds his life turned upside down when his mother's flamenco-dancing friend moves in.

Tommi and his half brother Kiddi travel through Iceland with a money transport. A reunion develops into a nightmare after picking up the hitch-hiker Lísa.

Mummi, a sixteen year old farmers son falls in love with Sigrún, but when it comes to love, Mummi has no experience and thus must figure it out for himself.
