An old farmhouse is burning brightly in a barren winter landscape. Its owner set it on fire because new prefabricated houses are cheaper than renovations. A young girl tries in vain to impress her father with a piano piece. A junkie is patiently taken care of by two social workers and given a Christmas present. From 56 such mini-dramas and scenes of everyday life, Icelandic artist Runár Rúnarsson creates a social portrait that is as intelligent as it is entertaining, with breathtaking visual beauty. A film of a slightly different kind that will have a long lasting effect.
