The latest from Grímur Hákonarson (Rams), set in a small Icelandic farming community, tells the story of a middle-aged dairy farmer who rebels against the all-powerful local Co-operative. Inga (Egilsdóttir) tries to get other farmers to join her in rising up against the Co-op’s corruption, but encounters great resistance, forcing her to confront the community’s dependence and loyalty to this single, dominant enterprise. Inga must use her resourcefulness and cunning to break free of the Co-op’s grasp and finally live life on her own terms.
