Why we chose it

Grímur Hákonarson spent three years touring Iceland and talking to sheep farmers, even auditioned the sheep, and in 2015 won the Un Certain Regard prize at Cannes. Two brothers live next door to each other and haven’t spoken in forty years, and you laugh and laugh until suddenly you’re in tears.

Synopsis

Gummi and Kiddi farm the same land in a remote Icelandic valley, their houses only a stone’s throw apart, yet the brothers haven’t said a word to each other in forty years. Year after year, their sheep win the local competition. Then a deadly disease reaches the valley, and every sheep in it will have to be slaughtered.
