The story of two brothers, both of whom are Icelandic sheep farmers, neither of which have talked to each other in over four decades. When a viral outbreak puts the lives of their flocks in jeopardy, they must bury their hatches in order to save their livelihoods.
[Rated R]
Can’t imagine too many of you are just dying to watch a foreign film about two old, white farmers and their sheep, but do yourself a favor and don’t write this one off. Sure, it takes its time, but it’s really quite special and surprisingly impactful/moving when all is said and done. As with every movie filmed in Iceland, the scenery doesn’t hurt, either. Give it a shot, folks. Good stuff.
It’s got a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.
