Storyline
Wednesday, February 3
In
a secluded valley in Iceland, Gummi and Kiddi live side by side,
tending to their sheep. Their ancestral sheep-stock is considered one of
the country’s best and the two brothers are repeatedly awarded for
their prized rams who carry an ancient lineage. Although they share the
land and a way of life, Gummi and Kiddi have not spoken to each other in
four decades. When a lethal disease suddenly infects Kiddi’s sheep, the
entire valley comes under threat. The authorities decide to cull all
the animals in the area to contain the outbreak. This is a near death
sentence for the farmers, whose sheep are their main source of income,
and many abandon their land. But Gummi and Kiddi don’t give up so easily
– and each brother tries to stave off the disaster in his own fashion:
Kiddi by using his rifle and Gummi by using his wits. As the authorities
close in, the brothers will need to come together to save the special
breed passed down for generations, and themselves, from extinction
