Synopsis:
Ari, 16, lives with his mother in Reykjavik. He's happy with his life. One day it turns out his mother has to go abroad to work. The boy is forced to leave the capital and move to his father's place in the remote Westfjords where he used to live as a child. It's not a change he enjoys. His relationship with his father isn't the best. To make things worse, Ari finds his boyhood friends changed. Maybe an attractive girl will change something for the better? In these unfavourable circumstances he will have to find his own path.

A story about the journey from childhood to adulthood, a father-son relationship, and love, shown in the breathtaking Westfjords.
