Once upon a time in the Faroe Islands, there lived three brothers. After the death of one brother, the other two struggle with their different ways of grieving, and generally just get on each other's nerves. Beautiful rugged scenery of the remote Faroe Islands act as a backdrop to a timeless story of brothers with diametrically opposite relationships to religion, duty and family
Two lost souls with incongruent world views meet again and again under strange circumstances and it will gradually become clear that they are connected by some force, which is bigger the they can fathom.
In a small Faroese village, four men find a sealed liquor barrel washed ashore at low tide. They hustle the heavy barrel into a basement, away from the prying eyes. Soon, however, the sneaking suspicion arises that instead of liquor, the mysterious barrel might in fact contain something else. Tensions run high as the host, Símun, eventually has to handle both the negotiations down in the basement, as well as his distrustful wife upstairs.
