Program Note
What happens when a tolerable one hour stretches into five or six or more? In Valdis Oskarsdottir’s new comedy-drama, two busloads?one headed by the bride, Ingibjorg, and one by the groom, Bardi?of wedding guests get lost en route to a small country church from Reykjavik. With only the groom knowing how to get there and armed with questionable directions, the short drives extends beyond the expected, and the families start to grate on each other. Editor Oskarsdottir’s ironic and typically offbeat comedy hinges on the two families and the seemingly straightforward manner in which they interact with each other. But like the directions to the mysterious church, relations get lost and tangled, until they reach a breaking point and tradition becomes the enemy.
