Here, an off-duty police chief starts to suspect a local man of having an affair with his wife, who recently died in a car accident. As he builds a house for his daughter and granddaughter, his obsession with finding out the truth intensifies, and inevitably begins to endanger both him and his entourage. Producer Anton Máni Svansson has described this film as a “mystery drama about deception, grief, sacrifice and unconditional love”. The lead role is played by famous Icelandic actor Ingvar E Sigurðsson, best known for his involvement in Friðrik Þór Friðriksson's Angels of the Universe and Baltasar Kormákur's Jar City [+leggi anche:
