Quotes
Halla: Economic sabotage.
Ása: It's extremism, which breeds extremism. He who Jives by the sword, dies by the sword.
Halla: But no one has been hurt, except our country and our planet.
Ása: It's not the right way to solve this problem.
Halla: Meditating in some convent, will that change something?
Ása: It will change me and thus the world I hope.
Halla: Isn't that egoism, to think it will change the world?
Ása: The drop hollows the stone.
Halla: The stone? The mountains are falling on us, we don't have time to wait for drops.
Ása: Now you're going to save a child and the entire world with it. Isn't that a small drop or is it just vanity?
Halla: At least I'm doing something for someone else.

A remarkably imaginative, creative movie

This movie could have been very preachy. It deals with a middle-aged woman who is very concerned about the effects of industry on the Icelandic environment and decides to take a very active role in opposing it, sabotaging efforts to create a new aluminum processing plant. All very PC.

But it is the form that makes this movie truly exceptional, not to mention fun and fascinating to watch. It is full of imaginative touches that seem to come out of nowhere and that capture your attention and admiration.

The acting is fine, and some of the countryside shots are wonderful, but it's not a scenic tour of Iceland. Rather, it's a remarkably create take on what could have been a very dull topic.
