Iceland, Fiction, 2019, 90′

An Icelandic vampire film centered on Hjörtur, an insolent 1,000-year-old gay vampire who meets Hulda, a millennial drug addict who tries to find out who killed her brother (a crime for which she was initially arrested). In this Nordic noir, together they end up having a connection, while facing enemies on several fronts — from a cult that anticipates the end of the world to a detective who decides to do justice alone.
