Simon, who has taken too many punches from this world and has done too much time in U.S. prisons, returns to his ancestral homeland, Iceland, resigned to do himself in. But before he can complete the task, he meets Dua, a free spirit he believes may well be his daughter. Simon rescues Dua from a close scrape with the law and together they escape to Hamburg, smuggling an Icelandic falcon--once the most prized export of the Vikings. Their plan is to sell it to a wealthy Arab. A great idea--until they try it. Fridrik Thor Fridrikson delivers a subtle and poetic film in keeping with his previous works, Movie Days, Cold Fever and Devil’s Island. Seemingly as remote as the Icelandic setting, charismatic actor Keith Carradine is in command of every scene and lends his character a calm but powerful presence.
