Why we chose it

Synopsis

Ingimundur is the police chief in a small Icelandic town, but he hasn’t gone back to work since his wife died. Instead he builds a house for his daughter and looks after his granddaughter Salka, until a box of his wife’s belongings lands in his hands. Inside is a videotape, and he knows the man on it.
