Directed by Guðný Halldórsdottir, 2007. Follow the story of a young, free-spirited girl tired of her strait-laced family surroundings who breaks free to pursue an entirely new life. Joining a team of guidance counselors at a small institution on an abandoned farm for troubled teens in a remote part of northern Iceland, she is immediately introduced into the counter culture of the 1970s. The counselors are under the influences of the time: hippiedom, sitars and therapy consisting of pseudo-psychoanalysis in the guise of confrontational group therapy. However, the arrival of a mysterious young girl changes everything. Deceit, desires and tragedy soon set events into motion that affect all players at the institution. 100 min.
