The void inside of me,
grows.
No matter what I do,
it just keeps growing and intensifying.
I have been surrounded by darkness
for quite a long time now.
Inside me, there are forces
at play that I can't control...
Guilt,
Relief,
and excitement.
I have tried to ignore
it and, by doing so...
I've been trying to avoid what
now seems to be unavoidable.
Now I fear I can't run
away from it anymore.
[birds chirping]
You want candy?
Ok, come on.
This land exists at the
edge of the inhabitable world.
You don't survive out here without
having some kind of faith.
We are ashamed of our need for faith.
Therefore, we keep it to ourselves,
and in secret, we whisper the prayers
we were taught as children,
to get a piece of mind for a while.
Without faith, we would all go mad.
[wind]
I've been left alone. All by myself.
Maybe it was my own choice.
Maybe my destiny...
In the eyes of the people I meet,
I see the sad state I'm in.
We are all attracted to fear and sorrow.
And we hurt each other.
Even though it's not what we want.
[somber music]
Lately, I've been praying for
an answer to the fundamental
questions about life and existence.
But as always,
there is no answer,
just silence.
I kept isolating myself more and more,
and finally, I started doubting everything.
My purpose as a husband,
father,
A human.
I lost what I loved the most.
And deep inside my heart, I know.
No one can hide from their true self.
Dear god.
Answer me
[somber music]
[engine noise]
[horse hooves clop]
I see you've trained him well.
What do you want?
I was expecting you to
visit their graves today.
I was there all morning.
You don't have to remind me.
I'll go when I'm ready.
It's been a year since
they've passed away today...
I thought you, of all people, would show
them some respect and show up.
I know you mean well...
I'm going to ask you not to
come unannounced anymore.
You know she came to see me a lot,
especially towards the end.
And she would tell me things.
Yeah...
Then she sent me this.
It's about you.
[wind]
And what? You read it?
Of course.
She's my sister...
I would do anything
to hear her voice again.
Even if it's through a letter.
Are you trying to make me feel
guilty for what happened?
Gunnar!
What she's saying in the letter
know that I've made a copy just in case.
In case...
In case of what?
It's not my business to tell you what to do.
It's my responsibility to ensure that my
sister receives the respect she deserves.
Don't you think you owe it to her after
everything you've put them through?
Listen to me...
Your sister was ill.
And don't you think that by coming here and
preaching your moral
thoughts and talking down to me
you are doing their memory any good...
My wife.
My son.
I should know best how
to deal with their loss.
I will never be able to
accept that I lost them
but on the other hand, I'm absolutely
happy never to see you again.
Now get the fuck away.
She hated you...
She really did.
She despised you.
The only reason why she didn't leave you
was because of him.
I always knew you were
the wrong guy for her,
but no... she fell head
over heels for you...
You know what... Goodbye Gunnar.
I truly hope you find peace.
For your own sake.
[eerie music]
My dear son,
There's not a day that goes by
where I don't see your face.
You were innocent.
The way you looked at me...
You filled me with some kind of
purpose,
and confidence.
I'm not sure if I'll ever be
able to experience it again.
The way you laughed...
The way you smiled
when I played the guitar...
That sounds you made
were the only music I needed.
Now silence is all I hear...
[eerie music]
It's okay
Be good while I'm gone.
[somber music]
Where I come from, nothing is as it seems.
I might be young, and
it's hard to understand me.
But I've lived enough to
know my effect on others.
People were cruel to me, so...
Why shouldn't I hit back?
Life already pushed me to my limits...
Like it wants to teach me a lesson.
I've always believed that life can
be a tricky adversary.
That's why you need to learn to
control it and master the game.
It's a game.
Nothing more.
Knowing you can be
on top of it is liberating.
I always believed that your
age represents a 'level, '
a state in your life... like a video game.
I'm now at level 21, but the more I play,
the easier I can beat it.
I've been in Iceland for a few days now...
I have to make a decision
that will change my life.
I don't know if it will be
for the better or worse.
I didn't want anyone with me to
influence me. I have to do this alone.
Sooner or later, life creates crossroads,
choices that you have to choose from.
It can free you or chain you even more.
One way or the other,
you have to make a choice and
deal with the consequences...
"HOSPITAL"
Why the hell are you calling me?
I already told you everything.
No.
What?
Who told you where I am?
No, it's my business. Do you understand?
I won't come and meet you...
No.
Don't come.
You're messed up.
Do you hear me? You're messed up.
What?
- Do you need a ride?
- Yeah.
Where are you heading?
I'll go wherever you're going.
Sure. Come in.
You should be careful.
A young girl like you,
hiking all alone.
Just so you know, there's like nothing
in this direction for
at least one hour or so.
Okay, it's fine.
You can drop me at the next gas station
or something, I'll walk from there.
Okay.
What's the occasion?
Today, it's a year since my
sister and nephew passed away.
I'm sorry.
I'm actually on my way
to pay my respect to them.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah, of course.
Do you have kids?
What do you ask?
[water splashing]
Let me show you something.
Imagine each card
represents a part of your life.
A card is a memory, a story, or an emotion.
How can you use your own life experience
to manipulate others without
revealing your true self?
Believe me or not... That's where
the real skill is needed.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Oh, by the way, this is Reykjavik,
and this is the last spot
before you cross the mountain
to reach the south coast.
Please don't walk, take a lift.
It can be very dangerous, the weather.
And this is actually the
best spot to get a lift.
Okay, be careful.
- I will, thanks, bye.
- Bye.
The thing is...
If you play your cards
right, they can protect you.
Put you in a position of control.
I've gotten pretty good at analyzing
the people around me.
Especially the ones who could hurt me.
And when the timing's right,
that's when the game begins.
[indistinct chatter in background]
Excuse me.
What do you think you're doing?
I got it all on camera you know.
I didn't do anything...
Did you take money from the register?
Don't touch me. Do you hear me?
She's got a knife.
Call the police.
A deck holds 52 cards,
that's 52 cards of options
to manipulate others.
Each card serves a specific purpose.
Call it the trust card.
How does it work?
Tell them one of your intimate stories.
It will make them feel closer to you, so
it's easier to get what you want.
Uniqueness.
Make them feel special.
Like this moment with
you is all that matters.
Create a weakness so
that they will reveal theirs.
My favorite?
Queen of hearts.
My secret weapon.
It allows you to play your ultimate trick.
Think of the worst story
that ever happened to you.
But really... The worst.
He needs to feel like he's the only one
who might know that side of you.
Wait until you have
all of his trust then...
You've won.
You've mastered the game.
People might say I need
to be damaged to enjoy
what I just explained, but who isn't?
Like I said, life is nothing but a
game waiting to be conquered.
The only difference is that I don't
wait for others to take advantage of me.
Anyway, I hope you like this chaotic video.
This is who I am.
People either love me or hate me.
That's what you will get if you
follow me. Always honest.
I'll try to post more as I
travel through Iceland.
Thanks for watching, and
see you in the next one.
I'm so sorry.
It was never supposed to end this way.
We were really trying to do our best.
But how have you been since we left?
Our relationship was poisonous.
But our love for him was healing.
Says who?
Don't be cruel...
And don't you play the victim.
It ended up just the way you wanted.
How can you say that?
I'm left all alone.
Without him.
I'll never be the same again.
Until you feel that urge again.
Good boy...
[wind]
[wind]
[door creaks]
I don't know if it helps me to put
my thoughts into words in here.
Praying was forbidden growing up.
My parents thought it was a
waste of the human spirit.
We were taught to believe in ourselves.
Not some fantasy...
But I've run out of alternative now.
Now I don't know what else to do.
Who to trust.
I am a sinner.
Maybe I don't even have
the right to be in here.
I don't recognize myself anymore.
I don't know how I've changed
to this man standing here.
Calm down.
Leave me alone.
Calm down.
Do you speak English?
Put the knife down and we can talk, okay?
- What are you doing here?
- You're lost.
Mind your fucking business.
Hey.
What?
If you really wanted to
attack someone with that knife,
the only person hurting
will be you, you know?
It's slip.
It's touch your hand really badly.
It's a corkscrew, right?
Take that out, put it
between your fingers.
You'll be fine.
Listen, you can't stay here.
This place is not shelter.
I suggest you leave now.
Find the proper place to stay.
It gets really cold here at night.
Wait. Wait, hey.
I'm sorry about that.
It just freaked me out.
You don't need to apologize.
You don't know me.
You know, you never can be too sure.
Listen, I don't know what your plan is,
but I really meant what I said.
You should get back
before night comes, okay?
And about you, where are you going?
That's none of your business.
Seriously, you're from here, right? You
have a long hair and a
beard thing going on, so...
Well, I don't know how to take that,
really, but yeah, I'm from here.
Look,
you're the first
person I've seen in a while.
I have to be honest, I'm
not sure where I'm going.
I thought this island would be just way
smaller and it's kind
of boring, actually.
Well, first you insult me and then my
country. You're doing great. Keep going.
I can't be the first one to tell you
that, just trying to be honest.
And do you know how to get to the airport
without using main route?
Yeah, I actually do.
Are you running away from something?
It was just a question.
I assume you're Polish, right?
Yeah. Why?
What are you doing here, exactly?
I'm not sure. I thought it
would be cool to vlog and travel.
So would it be okay if I
walk with you while I go back?
It might make you less boring.
Well, not sure it
will actually, trust me.
I promise I won't be
threatening you again with a knife.
Well...
I'm going that way.
To Krsuvkurbjargi,
It's a cliff.
If that's where you're
going, you're welcome to join.
That's fine.
What's your name?
Ewa.
Okay, Eva.
Just to be perfectly clear,
I'm not doing any detours
to show you around, okay?
Okay.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[eerie music]
Hey.
Coming along?
So?
How long have you
been walking like this?
Since this morning.
And being by yourself
doesn't make you go like crazy.
I've been here a few days, and I already
want to kill myself.
You wanted to experience Iceland?
This is Iceland.
It's nothing but landscape and silence.
Where are you staying?
Reykjavik?
Yeah.
I...
I came here a few days ago.
To do what?
Taking care of things, I think.
Right.
Listen.
Do you have any idea what you're doing?
We're hours away from Reykjavik and a
long way from where I need to go.
I don't want to be responsible if
anything happens to you.
You're not equipped
for hiking in Iceland.
Doesn't seem like I can take care of
myself without any problems.
I could've fucked you up pretty badly.
Has anyone ever told you that you might
have an overconfidence issue?
Now, if you're going to complain the
whole time, now is the
perfect time to turn around.
You might make it to
Reykjavik before the sun goes down.
OK, as far as I know,
Iceland have 24
hours of daylight during the summer, so.
I should be fine.
So, what's your deal?
What's so important you
have to walk all the way?
Pay respect.
To who?
OK.
Feel free to add
details whenever you're ready.
We have plenty of time.
So last year,
my wife and my son lost
their lives in an accident.
Why walk?
You could take your car
and save a lot of time?
Because walking helps me clear my mind.
Now stop asking questions.
How did they die?
If you want to share?
I don't.
So did you have a tattoo
of a squid on your arm?
Yeah.
Me and my dad loved
fishing when I was younger.
It's always a good reminder
when things start to suck.
That's why you're here.
Your life sucks.
Don't jump to the conclusion that just
because I'm here, I'm the victim.
Well, you're either the victim or you're
the one who caused the pain.
From what I've seen of you so far, I go
for the second option.
OK.
Maybe I'm the main reason for the pain but,
what if I was the
victim in the first place?
Jesus.
How old are you?
Fuck you.
How old are you?
It's... it's just
you talk older than you look.
OK.
I'm not sure how to take that comment,
but yeah, let's say I have experience.
Yeah?
Such as?
Don't push your luck.
- OK.
- But it was OK for me to share.
You're grown men.
What you want to share is your business.
I only ask the question, you know.
To be continued, I'll be right back.
Where are you going?
To take a leak.
If you need to go, I
suggest you do the same.
After this, and no places to hide.
[rustling]
Fuck are you doing?
I knew you were a fucking thief.
I didn't steal anything, you asshole..
Did you read it?
No, I don't even speak Icelandic.
Just let me go.
You want to go through my bag?
Go!
Go!
I don't give a fuck!
Stay the fuck away from me!
Stop following me.
[eerie music]
[eerie music]
Look at me.
I said look at me.
She saw right through you...
She saw how damaged you are.
And your son
would sooner or later,
witness your true nature.
Dear Edda.
I write to you because I fear for my life.
I'm afraid we will end
up killing each other.
Gunnar's behavior has been horrible lately
both towards me and the kid.
I'm not a psychic
but I can see where it's heading.
Don't judge me for staying
and fighting for my family.
I'm responsible for that.
I wish this would have ended differently.
And that we could have been happy.
This one night, Gunnar came home.
He was angry, furious about something.
I knew he had a big temper,
but I had never seen him like this.
No matter what I said to
him, he would not calm down.
He went...
He went into the bedroom and destroyed it.
I was so afraid.
Then he left...
When he returns hours later
he pushed me and threatened
to kill me if I ever left him.
Swear to me...
You'll take care of my little boy
if anything happens to me...
I thought I told you not to follow me.
I know.
And I ignored you.
Look, I have no clue where I am and
at this point, it makes
more sense to stay with you.
Right?
I'm so sorry.
It was never supposed to end this way.
We really tried our best.
How have you been since we left?
Our relationship was poisonous,
but our love for him was healing.
Says who?
Don't be cruel,
and don't you play a victim.
It ended like you wanted.
How can you say that?
I'm left all alone, without him.
I'll never be the same again.
Until you feel that urge again.
No...
I had been praying,
hoping for this to happen.
My prayers were heard...
I...
I got my wish fulfilled...
Not you.
Hey!
I'm talking to you.
Are we going or...
[wind blowing]
[wind]
Can you tell me what
happened one more time?
Listen, I've told you what
happened a million times.
I don't know what more to say.
I had a weird feeling...
I'm just so angry at myself.
For not having done something
about it a long time ago.
I was so naive...
To think that I...
Had any idea of what
was going between them.
Of course, I should have come straight
to you when I first read this letter.
Perhaps then, we could have saved
my little nephew...
From those awful
horrible
circumstances...
I had nothing to do with this.
I had nothing to do with this.
[somber music]
What are you going to do with her?
She has nothing to do with this.
Now my sister knows the truth about you.
And soon, everyone will know about
what kind of person you really are.
Hey!
You hungry?
A little bit.
Come on, I have some food to share.
Alright, let's get
some dried fish in here.
Dried what?
Dried fish.
Dried fish?
Yep.
That's what you eat here in Iceland.
This is the best thing you can have
when you're traveling lights.
98% protein.
Okay, Not sure about that, but
let's see.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Yeah?
It's disgusting.
It's really dry.
It's dried fish.
I know, but it's too dry.
Want some coffee?
Cool combination. Coffee and
dried fish.
Best combination.
Thanks.
Almost there.
Yeah, it's the ocean. I can tell.
That's where we're going.
Some more?
I'm good.
That letter
is it from your wife?
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have done that.
It's fine.
I think you know enough about me.
What about you?
What are you doing here alone?
You have no one who
wants to travel with you?
I'm just a complex person.
Stuck in a complicated
situation, and that's it.
Well, if it's your fault,
you've got no one but yourself to blame.
Yeah, that's true.
You're avoiding the question.
The only important thing to know is
that I broke up with someone
who didn't take it that well.
He became obsessive.
If you want to lose me for good,
just become needy, and
you'll never see me again.
So you're here,
walking with me in the
middle of fucking nowhere,
because somebody loved you too much.
Yeah, defined too much?
No, you tell me.
He's coming to see me.
Ah, now it all makes sense.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
About what I said earlier.
Yeah?
That wasn't actually
the whole truth, you know?
I found out I'm pregnant.
And I can't have
abortion in Poland, so...
I thought coming here would be the right
place to make this decision.
And if you decide not to have it,
do you know people here who can help you?
Yeah.
I know some Polish people who lives here.
Good.
The father?
He wants to be there
for me no matter what.
I don't love him.
Life's testing you.
You're strong.
You figure it out.
Yeah, but
look at me.
I'm way too young.
Can you imagine me as a mom?
Listen, whatever you decide to do,
you have to make a
decision that's right for you
nobody else.
And what would you do if you were me?
Well,
kids won't fix your relationship,
that's what you're asking.
When I saw my son for
the first time
held him
that was it.
Everything changed.
I'm over sharing with you.
I'm going to take that as a compliment.
It is.
We're here.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Watch out.
The hatch can break off.
There's some loose rocks. Be careful.
Okay.
So.
Now what?
Is this the place they died?
Yeah.
What happened exactly?
Just give me a moment, will you?
[ocean waves]
You know what?
I already met enough people to
know when something is wrong with them.
But I don't know.
Maybe people think the same about me.
That something is wrong...
Anyway, sooner or later,
I'll have to face myself.
Like everyone, but until then...
It's been a year today...
Not a single day passes
without me waking up
hoping to hear your laughter
hoping to see you smile.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
But there's only silence.
I don't know where this world is going...
But maybe it's for the best that
you are now in a better place.
So you don't have to go through all the
suffering that would have awaited you.
And about your mother
she wasn't as pure at heart
as she seemed.
But she loved you with all her heart
And that's all that matters.
And you have to understand that she
gave you all the love she had.
I'm here.
To pay you my respect.
Not her.
And you have to understand.
That I too gave you all the love
that I possibly could give you.
I can live freely without consequences.
That's the beauty of being young.
No responsibility. It's a blessing.
And getting older is a curse.
Anyway...
Look at him.
What did you dare fucking film me for?
But I haven't finished.
So what, that's it?
We walked all the way here for this?
Can I at least enjoy
the view for a minute?
Yeah, treat yourself.
Calm down, no need to yell at me.
I'm done, I'm going home.
You do what you want.
Can you just stop doing this?
Look, I'm not your enemy
and just talk to me, please.
Do you really wanna know what happened?
So we were on a vacation.
We normally drove around
the island this time of year.
We just needed a break,
you know, change of pace.
A little break from all
the arguments we were having.
Was this your idea?
Can you just listen?
Yeah, sorry.
So we came to here,
the wind was so strong.
My son had just learned
how to walk properly and,
I don't know, my wife
must have lost sight of him
or something, I don't know, she was,
she was always holding him.
Where were you?
Jesus.
I'm sorry, I'm just
curious, go ahead, I'll shut up.
So it was cold.
I was in the car getting my jacket
and I saw my son run,
towards the cliff.
She was kind of watching him,
but she was more just staring at me
like I wasn't doing something I was
supposed to be doing.
So I grabbed my jacket.
I heard a brief scream.
When I looked back up, they were gone.
The burst of wind took them.
Then what happened?
What do you mean, then what happened?
The police found their bodies at the
bottom of the cliff.
Until this day, I've never
wanted to come back here.
It's all my fault.
No, it's not.
Shit happens.
Shit happens?
No.
Me and her were
completely wrong for each other.
Should have ended it long before.
So, you want the truth?
You happy now?
Is it?
What?
The truth.
[eerie music]
Hi.
Yeah. I'm almost there.
Hello?
I can't hear you.
Have you met Gunnar already?
The connection is bad. I'm almost there.
Have you been waiting for long?
No.
Listen, do you know where Gunnar is?
No. Why?
Come and see.
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH"
What the heck is going on?
This is not okay...
You have to call the police.
I know him. I know how to calm him down.
Heidrun... Can you hear yourself talk?
- Don't you get it. We have to call the police.
- No Stop it.
- Okay...
- No.
This is not your problem.
This has nothing to do with you.
Of course it is... Explain it to me.
What's going on?
He doesn't want me to tell anyone.
Tell what?
Please... tell what?
Heidrun, talk to me.
I just found out that
that I'm pregnant.
But he doesn't want children.
That's why we've been fighting.
No, Heidrun... wait.
Hi, darling.
Are you okay?
You're so messed up.
Edda.
I think it's best that you leave.
Yeah, I think it's best that you leave.
No way that I'm leaving without you.
Please just leave.
Listen...
No way I'm leaving her with you.
Me and your sister just
need to have a little talk.
Yeah...
I'm not going anywhere.
You want to do it in front of her...
If you don't mind her hearing
what I have to say to you.
Heidrun always told me
that she can't have children.
I thought I couldn't have kids but I can.
Shouldn't you be grateful for that?
Then last night when I
told her that I had enough
of this bullshit and that
I was leaving for good,
then by some miracle, all
of a sudden, she's pregnant.
I just thought you had the right
to know, before you left.
Stop this nonsense. You only said it
so that I wouldn't leave you.
It's a miracle and you're ruining it.
I'm ruining it?
I woke up last night with a
gun pointed at my forehead.
And do you know what she said?
Now I got all I need from you
and there's no chance in hell
you will ever see this child.
You're fucking sick.
I think you don't know your sister as
well as you think you do.
She's a fucking narcissist and a liar.
There are two sides to everything.
Really? Two sides?
What did you do when I
told you I was pregnant?
What did I do?
You grabbed me by the neck
and you threw me down on the floor.
I couldn't breathe, and
you didn't give a shit
- if you hurt me or the child.
- Listen.
You attacked me because you thought
I wasn't happy enough about it.
And I pushed you away to defend myself.
I can't believe you're saying this.
I've had enough of you.
Get the fuck off my farm.
Your farm?
I'm the one paying for everything.
I'm the one doing all the work.
You don't own a thing.
Come on.
Let's go...
Where the hell do you think you're going?
Oh my god.
Here you go.
This is the only way
for you to get rid of me.
- Oh, you don't know how to handle a gun now?
- Please stop it.
Yeah, right... There you go.
Shoot!
You know my biggest
dream in life is to have a child.
I gave up that dream for you.
And now you say that you
want to bring that child up alone.
Are you really surprised
after all that fucking violence?
It's mad that I didn't
leave you a long time ago.
I will do everything in my power
to protect that child from you.
I'm so sorry that you
had to witness this, Edda.
You're pathetic.
You think you're a big guy now.
You're proud of yourself?
How do you envision this ending for us?
As soon as I knew I was pregnant...
I wanted to have an abortion.
You know why?
Only the thought of it
having traces of you in it.
Made me wish that It would die.
Or that I would die giving birth to it.
If you aren't lying,
and you really are pregnant.
We're done
you and I are finished
when this child is born.
And until then?
Get in the car.
[suspenseful music]
Is this a volcano?
Did you bring me to a fucking volcano?
Everywhere in Iceland is a volcano.
Anywhere can erupt at any minute.
If you lie down, you
can hear the rumbling.
Look,
I...
I didn't mean to offend you earlier.
I had no right to place any judgment.
That's right.
You have no rights.
The age and time you realize,
the choices you make in life,
good or bad.
Can't put to live with them.
What happened was a tragedy.
You think I'm lying about it?
I should have thrown you
off that fucking cliff.
You love to show how confident you are.
You can play that card all you want.
I don't believe you.
I don't think you know what suffering is.
You think you do.
I don't blame you.
You're young.
You only have your own life
experience to judge it from.
A real pain?
You don't have a fucking clue.
Until you live it,
you should stay quiet.
Fine. Fine.
I'm gonna tell you something about me.
I didn't ask you for that.
Listen, Ewa,
I think this is a good
place for us to part.
The airport is that way.
I'm going that way.
If you walk fast enough,
it shouldn't take you long.
I've experienced things, you know.
It may be different
from you, but still, I did.
Good for you. Good for you.
Good luck with whatever
you're trying to do.
My advice?
Stop running away.
Nothing good will come out of that.
My dad killed himself in
front of me when I was young.
Listen, you don't have to do that.
Don't need to justify
yourself. It's okay.
I was ten years old, you know.
I was coming back from school.
My mom was working.
They were at a process of
being divorced at the time, and
he was so against it.
He loved her so much.
Anyway,
I went to his office, and
that's where I found him.
Hanging from the ceiling.
I tried to lift him up
with all of my strength, but.
I was just too weak.
So I just stood there,
unable to do anything.
And my mom found me a few hours later.
So, yeah.
We all have different struggles.
It doesn't mean I don't
know what you're talking about.
[footsteps patter]
Seeing you walking without any sense of
direction is kind of funny, actually.
No need to follow me.
I know where I'm going.
No, you don't.
And you can't even
admit that you're wrong.
Listen, you can't be mad at me
for something you wanted
to share in the first place.
Did I say anything?
You're the one who's following me now.
I shouldn't have talked about him.
Now, the only thing I can
think of is that moment and
this is the last thing I need right now.
Well, again, you felt the need to share.
Has anyone ever told you
that you're kind of a brat?
Only when I want to.
Yeah, I've noticed that.
Come on. I'll take you home.
Come on!
[somber singing]
[somber singing]
What was that song?
I wrote it for my son.
Pretty cool.
That he had the chance to hear it.
No.
[wind]
Hello.
How have you been doing?
So this is your farm?
Yeah.
It'll go insane leaving off land alone.
I'll take this over the city any day.
Keep them away from me.
It won't hurt you. You can probably smell
that you're pregnant.
Really?
Yeah.
I just don't trust
animals that are
bigger than me.
You've got issues.
Do you know that?
So let's just rest for a bit.
Get some coffee, tea,
and I'll drive you back
to wherever you want to go.
Okay.
And if you want to take
some time to just rest,
you're more than welcome to stay.
Could use some company, you know?
Okay.
Just to be clear.
I'm not fucking you.
Don't flatter yourself.
You're not my type and,
you could be my daughter. Come on.
You're a musician or something?
No, not anymore. I used to.
No, I just play in my spare time.
I'm so bad.
I can't even play a note.
We'll teach you the basics if you want.
Ah, it's fine.
But
you can play me that
song you wrote for your son.
No, it's fine.
You want coffee, tea?
Tea's fine.
Come on.
Play it for me.
At least one person will have heard it.
Please?
All right.
[gentle guitar music]
The moon here looks like a boat
my soul is on board.
My mind is full of longing and sorrow
and all the words I left unsaid
when I close my eyes.
I can still feel your two soft hands
please moon aim for the stars
and take my soul home.
And bring me ashore in Angel bay
where god guards you for me
missing you is the
hardest feeling I've ever felt
my heart is forever attached to yours.
I think that's enough.
That was beautiful.
Thank you.
What was your son's name?
Johan.
His name was Johan.
And by the way,
you've never told me yours?
Really?
Yeah.
I'm Gunnar.
Okay, nice to meet you Gunnar.
Nice to meet you too, Ewa.
Can I use your restroom?
Yeah, of course. In there.
Thanks.
[wind]
[eerie music]
[eerie music]
So what are you hunting around here?
- Jesus Christ!
- What?
You never point a gun at somebody.
Put the barrel down.
What?
Jesus Christ.
I'm sorry.
Have you ever fired a gun before?
No, never.
Oh, you cannot leave Iceland
without firing a gun, at least once.
Do I have a choice?
Of course.
Just be careful.
Might get addicted.
No, no, no, no.
- This would seriously hurt your arm.
- Okay.
So it really needs to sit tight here on
the shoulder because the
kickback can be really surprising.
Okay.
Try to keep your arm straight.
Yeah, like this?
Yes, yes.
Can you see?
Yeah.
Good.
You're ready?
Don't stand, yeah.
Stand strong.
What am I aiming at?
It doesn't matter. There's nothing there.
Just go nuts.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
Okay, I'll be right behind you.
Fuck.
That shit hurt!
Yeah! It's amazing, right?
Yeah, amazing.
You want to go again?
I think I'm good.
Really?
Yeah.
And I think it's really my time to go.
Yeah, okay.
Sure.
Just go get your stuff.
Way by the car.
Okay.
[engine idles]
Ewa?
Yeah. I'm ready to go.
Is that really the road to the airport?
Okay, what's going on?
Where are we going?
Just a little detour.
Why are we stopping?
Open your pack.
Why?
Just open your pack.
What's your problem?
I didn't do anything.
Good.
You have nothing to hide, right?
Open your pack.
Just drive me to the airport.
I will.
As soon as you show me
what you've stolen from me.
Fuck you.
I didn't steal anything.
Fuck this, I'm walking.
Unlock the door.
I'm asking you,
one last time.
Open the fucking bag!
Or what?
[tense music]
I'm so sorry.
It was never supposed to end like this.
We really tried our best.
But tell me, how have
you been since we left?
Our relation was poisonous.
But our love for him was healing.
Oh really? Says who?
Don't be cruel.
And don't you play the victim.
It ended just the way you wanted it to.
How can you say that?
You left me all alone.
Without him.
I'll never be
the same again.
Until you feel that urge again.
I have been praying,
hoping for this to happen.
My prayers were heard.
I got my wish fulfilled, not you.
No matter how you run, there is no escape.
You're trapped.
Enjoy yourself, while you can.
[tense music]
Get the fuck out.
Don't touch me. Don't fucking touch me.
You killed them, didn't you?
And now you're gonna kill me.
I promise I won't say anything.
I'm just gonna go and
you'll never see me again.
Who said anything about killing?
Why are we here then?
Do you know what you took?
You said you didn't
give a fuck about her.
I thought you wouldn't mind.
That stuff from her. I don't care.
Take it. Sell it. Throw it away.
What, the squid I gave to my
son on the day he was born?
What the fuck's wrong with you?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, okay?
Just take it then. Take it.
So that's your sick game?
You create connection with people and
then you steal from them?
Look, I just wanna go, okay?
I don't want any trouble.
Yeah, right.
I saw it and I took it without thinking.
When I'm stressed, I steal shit.
And why me?
I don't know. You just
happened to be there.
I thought, "Why not?"
Why not?
Please, give me my bag and
I'll be on my way, please.
Please.
I wish I had your
arrogance when I was your age.
I'll give you that.
You're good.
Yeah.
We're good.
I'm keeping your phone.
Leave.
Leave.

Did you think you had become a true killer?
You really thought you
would get away with this?
No matter how bad you feel.
It's nothing compared to
what you put me through.
And your son... what had
he ever done to you?
I pushed you to the edge.
With terrible consequences...
You know what?
I think you were relieved
when you saw me fall.
You enjoyed seeing me die. Didn't you?
And now, here you are.
You were trying to get the same
high as when you pushed me.
Were you relieved
when I fell off the cliff?
Relieved that it all worked out?
How are you feeling now,
crawling here all alone.
Was it worth it?
You know what?
We all end up where we are supposed to.
Together.
Or all alone.

[gentle guitar music]
The void inside of me,
grows.
No matter what I do,
it just keeps growing and intensifying.
I have been surrounded by darkness
for quite a long time now.
Inside me, there are forces
at play that I can't control...
Guilt,
Relief,
and excitement.
I have tried to ignore
it and, by doing so...
I've been trying to avoid what
now seems to be unavoidable.
Now I fear I can't run
away from it anymore.
[birds chirping]
You want candy?
Ok, come on.
This land exists at the
edge of the inhabitable world.
You don't survive out here without
having some kind of faith.
We are ashamed of our need for faith.
Therefore, we keep it to ourselves,
and in secret, we whisper the prayers
we were taught as children,
to get a piece of mind for a while.
Without faith, we would all go mad.
[wind]
I've been left alone. All by myself.
Maybe it was my own choice.
Maybe my destiny...
In the eyes of the people I meet,
I see the sad state I'm in.
We are all attracted to fear and sorrow.
And we hurt each other.
Even though it's not what we want.
[somber music]
Lately, I've been praying for
an answer to the fundamental
questions about life and existence.
But as always,
there is no answer,
just silence.
I kept isolating myself more and more,
and finally, I started doubting everything.
My purpose as a husband,
father,
A human.
I lost what I loved the most.
And deep inside my heart, I know.
No one can hide from their true self.
Dear god.
Answer me
[somber music]
[engine noise]
[horse hooves clop]
I see you've trained him well.
What do you want?
I was expecting you to
visit their graves today.
I was there all morning.
You don't have to remind me.
I'll go when I'm ready.
It's been a year since
they've passed away today...
I thought you, of all people, would show
them some respect and show up.
I know you mean well...
I'm going to ask you not to
come unannounced anymore.
You know she came to see me a lot,
especially towards the end.
And she would tell me things.
Yeah...
Then she sent me this.
It's about you.
[wind]
And what? You read it?
Of course.
She's my sister...
I would do anything
to hear her voice again.
Even if it's through a letter.
Are you trying to make me feel
guilty for what happened?
Gunnar!
What she's saying in the letter
know that I've made a copy just in case.
In case...
In case of what?
It's not my business to tell you what to do.
It's my responsibility to ensure that my
sister receives the respect she deserves.
Don't you think you owe it to her after
everything you've put them through?
Listen to me...
Your sister was ill.
And don't you think that by coming here and
preaching your moral
thoughts and talking down to me
you are doing their memory any good...
My wife.
My son.
I should know best how
to deal with their loss.
I will never be able to
accept that I lost them
but on the other hand, I'm absolutely
happy never to see you again.
Now get the fuck away.
She hated you...
She really did.
She despised you.
The only reason why she didn't leave you
was because of him.
I always knew you were
the wrong guy for her,
but no... she fell head
over heels for you...
You know what... Goodbye Gunnar.
I truly hope you find peace.
For your own sake.
[eerie music]
My dear son,
There's not a day that goes by
where I don't see your face.
You were innocent.
The way you looked at me...
You filled me with some kind of
purpose,
and confidence.
I'm not sure if I'll ever be
able to experience it again.
The way you laughed...
The way you smiled
when I played the guitar...
That sounds you made
were the only music I needed.
Now silence is all I hear...
[eerie music]
It's okay
Be good while I'm gone.
[somber music]
Where I come from, nothing is as it seems.
I might be young, and
it's hard to understand me.
But I've lived enough to
know my effect on others.
People were cruel to me, so...
Why shouldn't I hit back?
Life already pushed me to my limits...
Like it wants to teach me a lesson.
I've always believed that life can
be a tricky adversary.
That's why you need to learn to
control it and master the game.
It's a game.
Nothing more.
Knowing you can be
on top of it is liberating.
I always believed that your
age represents a 'level, '
a state in your life... like a video game.
I'm now at level 21, but the more I play,
the easier I can beat it.
I've been in Iceland for a few days now...
I have to make a decision
that will change my life.
I don't know if it will be
for the better or worse.
I didn't want anyone with me to
influence me. I have to do this alone.
Sooner or later, life creates crossroads,
choices that you have to choose from.
It can free you or chain you even more.
One way or the other,
you have to make a choice and
deal with the consequences...
"HOSPITAL"
Why the hell are you calling me?
I already told you everything.
No.
What?
Who told you where I am?
No, it's my business. Do you understand?
I won't come and meet you...
No.
Don't come.
You're messed up.
Do you hear me? You're messed up.
What?
- Do you need a ride?
- Yeah.
Where are you heading?
I'll go wherever you're going.
Sure. Come in.
You should be careful.
A young girl like you,
hiking all alone.
Just so you know, there's like nothing
in this direction for
at least one hour or so.
Okay, it's fine.
You can drop me at the next gas station
or something, I'll walk from there.
Okay.
What's the occasion?
Today, it's a year since my
sister and nephew passed away.
I'm sorry.
I'm actually on my way
to pay my respect to them.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah, of course.
Do you have kids?
What do you ask?
[water splashing]
Let me show you something.
Imagine each card
represents a part of your life.
A card is a memory, a story, or an emotion.
How can you use your own life experience
to manipulate others without
revealing your true self?
Believe me or not... That's where
the real skill is needed.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Oh, by the way, this is Reykjavik,
and this is the last spot
before you cross the mountain
to reach the south coast.
Please don't walk, take a lift.
It can be very dangerous, the weather.
And this is actually the
best spot to get a lift.
Okay, be careful.
- I will, thanks, bye.
- Bye.
The thing is...
If you play your cards
right, they can protect you.
Put you in a position of control.
I've gotten pretty good at analyzing
the people around me.
Especially the ones who could hurt me.
And when the timing's right,
that's when the game begins.
[indistinct chatter in background]
Excuse me.
What do you think you're doing?
I got it all on camera you know.
I didn't do anything...
Did you take money from the register?
Don't touch me. Do you hear me?
She's got a knife.
Call the police.
A deck holds 52 cards,
that's 52 cards of options
to manipulate others.
Each card serves a specific purpose.
Call it the trust card.
How does it work?
Tell them one of your intimate stories.
It will make them feel closer to you, so
it's easier to get what you want.
Uniqueness.
Make them feel special.
Like this moment with
you is all that matters.
Create a weakness so
that they will reveal theirs.
My favorite?
Queen of hearts.
My secret weapon.
It allows you to play your ultimate trick.
Think of the worst story
that ever happened to you.
But really... The worst.
He needs to feel like he's the only one
who might know that side of you.
Wait until you have
all of his trust then...
You've won.
You've mastered the game.
People might say I need
to be damaged to enjoy
what I just explained, but who isn't?
Like I said, life is nothing but a
game waiting to be conquered.
The only difference is that I don't
wait for others to take advantage of me.
Anyway, I hope you like this chaotic video.
This is who I am.
People either love me or hate me.
That's what you will get if you
follow me. Always honest.
I'll try to post more as I
travel through Iceland.
Thanks for watching, and
see you in the next one.
I'm so sorry.
It was never supposed to end this way.
We were really trying to do our best.
But how have you been since we left?
Our relationship was poisonous.
But our love for him was healing.
Says who?
Don't be cruel...
And don't you play the victim.
It ended up just the way you wanted.
How can you say that?
I'm left all alone.
Without him.
I'll never be the same again.
Until you feel that urge again.
Good boy...
[wind]
[wind]
[door creaks]
I don't know if it helps me to put
my thoughts into words in here.
Praying was forbidden growing up.
My parents thought it was a
waste of the human spirit.
We were taught to believe in ourselves.
Not some fantasy...
But I've run out of alternative now.
Now I don't know what else to do.
Who to trust.
I am a sinner.
Maybe I don't even have
the right to be in here.
I don't recognize myself anymore.
I don't know how I've changed
to this man standing here.
Calm down.
Leave me alone.
Calm down.
Do you speak English?
Put the knife down and we can talk, okay?
- What are you doing here?
- You're lost.
Mind your fucking business.
Hey.
What?
If you really wanted to
attack someone with that knife,
the only person hurting
will be you, you know?
It's slip.
It's touch your hand really badly.
It's a corkscrew, right?
Take that out, put it
between your fingers.
You'll be fine.
Listen, you can't stay here.
This place is not shelter.
I suggest you leave now.
Find the proper place to stay.
It gets really cold here at night.
Wait. Wait, hey.
I'm sorry about that.
It just freaked me out.
You don't need to apologize.
You don't know me.
You know, you never can be too sure.
Listen, I don't know what your plan is,
but I really meant what I said.
You should get back
before night comes, okay?
And about you, where are you going?
That's none of your business.
Seriously, you're from here, right? You
have a long hair and a
beard thing going on, so...
Well, I don't know how to take that,
really, but yeah, I'm from here.
Look,
you're the first
person I've seen in a while.
I have to be honest, I'm
not sure where I'm going.
I thought this island would be just way
smaller and it's kind
of boring, actually.
Well, first you insult me and then my
country. You're doing great. Keep going.
I can't be the first one to tell you
that, just trying to be honest.
And do you know how to get to the airport
without using main route?
Yeah, I actually do.
Are you running away from something?
It was just a question.
I assume you're Polish, right?
Yeah. Why?
What are you doing here, exactly?
I'm not sure. I thought it
would be cool to vlog and travel.
So would it be okay if I
walk with you while I go back?
It might make you less boring.
Well, not sure it
will actually, trust me.
I promise I won't be
threatening you again with a knife.
Well...
I'm going that way.
To Krsuvkurbjargi,
It's a cliff.
If that's where you're
going, you're welcome to join.
That's fine.
What's your name?
Ewa.
Okay, Eva.
Just to be perfectly clear,
I'm not doing any detours
to show you around, okay?
Okay.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[eerie music]
Hey.
Coming along?
So?
How long have you
been walking like this?
Since this morning.
And being by yourself
doesn't make you go like crazy.
I've been here a few days, and I already
want to kill myself.
You wanted to experience Iceland?
This is Iceland.
It's nothing but landscape and silence.
Where are you staying?
Reykjavik?
Yeah.
I...
I came here a few days ago.
To do what?
Taking care of things, I think.
Right.
Listen.
Do you have any idea what you're doing?
We're hours away from Reykjavik and a
long way from where I need to go.
I don't want to be responsible if
anything happens to you.
You're not equipped
for hiking in Iceland.
Doesn't seem like I can take care of
myself without any problems.
I could've fucked you up pretty badly.
Has anyone ever told you that you might
have an overconfidence issue?
Now, if you're going to complain the
whole time, now is the
perfect time to turn around.
You might make it to
Reykjavik before the sun goes down.
OK, as far as I know,
Iceland have 24
hours of daylight during the summer, so.
I should be fine.
So, what's your deal?
What's so important you
have to walk all the way?
Pay respect.
To who?
OK.
Feel free to add
details whenever you're ready.
We have plenty of time.
So last year,
my wife and my son lost
their lives in an accident.
Why walk?
You could take your car
and save a lot of time?
Because walking helps me clear my mind.
Now stop asking questions.
How did they die?
If you want to share?
I don't.
So did you have a tattoo
of a squid on your arm?
Yeah.
Me and my dad loved
fishing when I was younger.
It's always a good reminder
when things start to suck.
That's why you're here.
Your life sucks.
Don't jump to the conclusion that just
because I'm here, I'm the victim.
Well, you're either the victim or you're
the one who caused the pain.
From what I've seen of you so far, I go
for the second option.
OK.
Maybe I'm the main reason for the pain but,
what if I was the
victim in the first place?
Jesus.
How old are you?
Fuck you.
How old are you?
It's... it's just
you talk older than you look.
OK.
I'm not sure how to take that comment,
but yeah, let's say I have experience.
Yeah?
Such as?
Don't push your luck.
- OK.
- But it was OK for me to share.
You're grown men.
What you want to share is your business.
I only ask the question, you know.
To be continued, I'll be right back.
Where are you going?
To take a leak.
If you need to go, I
suggest you do the same.
After this, and no places to hide.
[rustling]
Fuck are you doing?
I knew you were a fucking thief.
I didn't steal anything, you asshole..
Did you read it?
No, I don't even speak Icelandic.
Just let me go.
You want to go through my bag?
Go!
Go!
I don't give a fuck!
Stay the fuck away from me!
Stop following me.
[eerie music]
[eerie music]
Look at me.
I said look at me.
She saw right through you...
She saw how damaged you are.
And your son
would sooner or later,
witness your true nature.
Dear Edda.
I write to you because I fear for my life.
I'm afraid we will end
up killing each other.
Gunnar's behavior has been horrible lately
both towards me and the kid.
I'm not a psychic
but I can see where it's heading.
Don't judge me for staying
and fighting for my family.
I'm responsible for that.
I wish this would have ended differently.
And that we could have been happy.
This one night, Gunnar came home.
He was angry, furious about something.
I knew he had a big temper,
but I had never seen him like this.
No matter what I said to
him, he would not calm down.
He went...
He went into the bedroom and destroyed it.
I was so afraid.
Then he left...
When he returns hours later
he pushed me and threatened
to kill me if I ever left him.
Swear to me...
You'll take care of my little boy
if anything happens to me...
I thought I told you not to follow me.
I know.
And I ignored you.
Look, I have no clue where I am and
at this point, it makes
more sense to stay with you.
Right?
I'm so sorry.
It was never supposed to end this way.
We really tried our best.
How have you been since we left?
Our relationship was poisonous,
but our love for him was healing.
Says who?
Don't be cruel,
and don't you play a victim.
It ended like you wanted.
How can you say that?
I'm left all alone, without him.
I'll never be the same again.
Until you feel that urge again.
No...
I had been praying,
hoping for this to happen.
My prayers were heard...
I...
I got my wish fulfilled...
Not you.
Hey!
I'm talking to you.
Are we going or...
[wind blowing]
[wind]
Can you tell me what
happened one more time?
Listen, I've told you what
happened a million times.
I don't know what more to say.
I had a weird feeling...
I'm just so angry at myself.
For not having done something
about it a long time ago.
I was so naive...
To think that I...
Had any idea of what
was going between them.
Of course, I should have come straight
to you when I first read this letter.
Perhaps then, we could have saved
my little nephew...
From those awful
horrible
circumstances...
I had nothing to do with this.
I had nothing to do with this.
[somber music]
What are you going to do with her?
She has nothing to do with this.
Now my sister knows the truth about you.
And soon, everyone will know about
what kind of person you really are.
Hey!
You hungry?
A little bit.
Come on, I have some food to share.
Alright, let's get
some dried fish in here.
Dried what?
Dried fish.
Dried fish?
Yep.
That's what you eat here in Iceland.
This is the best thing you can have
when you're traveling lights.
98% protein.
Okay, Not sure about that, but
let's see.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Yeah?
It's disgusting.
It's really dry.
It's dried fish.
I know, but it's too dry.
Want some coffee?
Cool combination. Coffee and
dried fish.
Best combination.
Thanks.
Almost there.
Yeah, it's the ocean. I can tell.
That's where we're going.
Some more?
I'm good.
That letter
is it from your wife?
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have done that.
It's fine.
I think you know enough about me.
What about you?
What are you doing here alone?
You have no one who
wants to travel with you?
I'm just a complex person.
Stuck in a complicated
situation, and that's it.
Well, if it's your fault,
you've got no one but yourself to blame.
Yeah, that's true.
You're avoiding the question.
The only important thing to know is
that I broke up with someone
who didn't take it that well.
He became obsessive.
If you want to lose me for good,
just become needy, and
you'll never see me again.
So you're here,
walking with me in the
middle of fucking nowhere,
because somebody loved you too much.
Yeah, defined too much?
No, you tell me.
He's coming to see me.
Ah, now it all makes sense.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
About what I said earlier.
Yeah?
That wasn't actually
the whole truth, you know?
I found out I'm pregnant.
And I can't have
abortion in Poland, so...
I thought coming here would be the right
place to make this decision.
And if you decide not to have it,
do you know people here who can help you?
Yeah.
I know some Polish people who lives here.
Good.
The father?
He wants to be there
for me no matter what.
I don't love him.
Life's testing you.
You're strong.
You figure it out.
Yeah, but
look at me.
I'm way too young.
Can you imagine me as a mom?
Listen, whatever you decide to do,
you have to make a
decision that's right for you
nobody else.
And what would you do if you were me?
Well,
kids won't fix your relationship,
that's what you're asking.
When I saw my son for
the first time
held him
that was it.
Everything changed.
I'm over sharing with you.
I'm going to take that as a compliment.
It is.
We're here.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Watch out.
The hatch can break off.
There's some loose rocks. Be careful.
Okay.
So.
Now what?
Is this the place they died?
Yeah.
What happened exactly?
Just give me a moment, will you?
[ocean waves]
You know what?
I already met enough people to
know when something is wrong with them.
But I don't know.
Maybe people think the same about me.
That something is wrong...
Anyway, sooner or later,
I'll have to face myself.
Like everyone, but until then...
It's been a year today...
Not a single day passes
without me waking up
hoping to hear your laughter
hoping to see you smile.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
But there's only silence.
I don't know where this world is going...
But maybe it's for the best that
you are now in a better place.
So you don't have to go through all the
suffering that would have awaited you.
And about your mother
she wasn't as pure at heart
as she seemed.
But she loved you with all her heart
And that's all that matters.
And you have to understand that she
gave you all the love she had.
I'm here.
To pay you my respect.
Not her.
And you have to understand.
That I too gave you all the love
that I possibly could give you.
I can live freely without consequences.
That's the beauty of being young.
No responsibility. It's a blessing.
And getting older is a curse.
Anyway...
Look at him.
What did you dare fucking film me for?
But I haven't finished.
So what, that's it?
We walked all the way here for this?
Can I at least enjoy
the view for a minute?
Yeah, treat yourself.
Calm down, no need to yell at me.
I'm done, I'm going home.
You do what you want.
Can you just stop doing this?
Look, I'm not your enemy
and just talk to me, please.
Do you really wanna know what happened?
So we were on a vacation.
We normally drove around
the island this time of year.
We just needed a break,
you know, change of pace.
A little break from all
the arguments we were having.
Was this your idea?
Can you just listen?
Yeah, sorry.
So we came to here,
the wind was so strong.
My son had just learned
how to walk properly and,
I don't know, my wife
must have lost sight of him
or something, I don't know, she was,
she was always holding him.
Where were you?
Jesus.
I'm sorry, I'm just
curious, go ahead, I'll shut up.
So it was cold.
I was in the car getting my jacket
and I saw my son run,
towards the cliff.
She was kind of watching him,
but she was more just staring at me
like I wasn't doing something I was
supposed to be doing.
So I grabbed my jacket.
I heard a brief scream.
When I looked back up, they were gone.
The burst of wind took them.
Then what happened?
What do you mean, then what happened?
The police found their bodies at the
bottom of the cliff.
Until this day, I've never
wanted to come back here.
It's all my fault.
No, it's not.
Shit happens.
Shit happens?
No.
Me and her were
completely wrong for each other.
Should have ended it long before.
So, you want the truth?
You happy now?
Is it?
What?
The truth.
[eerie music]
Hi.
Yeah. I'm almost there.
Hello?
I can't hear you.
Have you met Gunnar already?
The connection is bad. I'm almost there.
Have you been waiting for long?
No.
Listen, do you know where Gunnar is?
No. Why?
Come and see.
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH"
What the heck is going on?
This is not okay...
You have to call the police.
I know him. I know how to calm him down.
Heidrun... Can you hear yourself talk?
- Don't you get it. We have to call the police.
- No Stop it.
- Okay...
- No.
This is not your problem.
This has nothing to do with you.
Of course it is... Explain it to me.
What's going on?
He doesn't want me to tell anyone.
Tell what?
Please... tell what?
Heidrun, talk to me.
I just found out that
that I'm pregnant.
But he doesn't want children.
That's why we've been fighting.
No, Heidrun... wait.
Hi, darling.
Are you okay?
You're so messed up.
Edda.
I think it's best that you leave.
Yeah, I think it's best that you leave.
No way that I'm leaving without you.
Please just leave.
Listen...
No way I'm leaving her with you.
Me and your sister just
need to have a little talk.
Yeah...
I'm not going anywhere.
You want to do it in front of her...
If you don't mind her hearing
what I have to say to you.
Heidrun always told me
that she can't have children.
I thought I couldn't have kids but I can.
Shouldn't you be grateful for that?
Then last night when I
told her that I had enough
of this bullshit and that
I was leaving for good,
then by some miracle, all
of a sudden, she's pregnant.
I just thought you had the right
to know, before you left.
Stop this nonsense. You only said it
so that I wouldn't leave you.
It's a miracle and you're ruining it.
I'm ruining it?
I woke up last night with a
gun pointed at my forehead.
And do you know what she said?
Now I got all I need from you
and there's no chance in hell
you will ever see this child.
You're fucking sick.
I think you don't know your sister as
well as you think you do.
She's a fucking narcissist and a liar.
There are two sides to everything.
Really? Two sides?
What did you do when I
told you I was pregnant?
What did I do?
You grabbed me by the neck
and you threw me down on the floor.
I couldn't breathe, and
you didn't give a shit
- if you hurt me or the child.
- Listen.
You attacked me because you thought
I wasn't happy enough about it.
And I pushed you away to defend myself.
I can't believe you're saying this.
I've had enough of you.
Get the fuck off my farm.
Your farm?
I'm the one paying for everything.
I'm the one doing all the work.
You don't own a thing.
Come on.
Let's go...
Where the hell do you think you're going?
Oh my god.
Here you go.
This is the only way
for you to get rid of me.
- Oh, you don't know how to handle a gun now?
- Please stop it.
Yeah, right... There you go.
Shoot!
You know my biggest
dream in life is to have a child.
I gave up that dream for you.
And now you say that you
want to bring that child up alone.
Are you really surprised
after all that fucking violence?
It's mad that I didn't
leave you a long time ago.
I will do everything in my power
to protect that child from you.
I'm so sorry that you
had to witness this, Edda.
You're pathetic.
You think you're a big guy now.
You're proud of yourself?
How do you envision this ending for us?
As soon as I knew I was pregnant...
I wanted to have an abortion.
You know why?
Only the thought of it
having traces of you in it.
Made me wish that It would die.
Or that I would die giving birth to it.
If you aren't lying,
and you really are pregnant.
We're done
you and I are finished
when this child is born.
And until then?
Get in the car.
[suspenseful music]
Is this a volcano?
Did you bring me to a fucking volcano?
Everywhere in Iceland is a volcano.
Anywhere can erupt at any minute.
If you lie down, you
can hear the rumbling.
Look,
I...
I didn't mean to offend you earlier.
I had no right to place any judgment.
That's right.
You have no rights.
The age and time you realize,
the choices you make in life,
good or bad.
Can't put to live with them.
What happened was a tragedy.
You think I'm lying about it?
I should have thrown you
off that fucking cliff.
You love to show how confident you are.
You can play that card all you want.
I don't believe you.
I don't think you know what suffering is.
You think you do.
I don't blame you.
You're young.
You only have your own life
experience to judge it from.
A real pain?
You don't have a fucking clue.
Until you live it,
you should stay quiet.
Fine. Fine.
I'm gonna tell you something about me.
I didn't ask you for that.
Listen, Ewa,
I think this is a good
place for us to part.
The airport is that way.
I'm going that way.
If you walk fast enough,
it shouldn't take you long.
I've experienced things, you know.
It may be different
from you, but still, I did.
Good for you. Good for you.
Good luck with whatever
you're trying to do.
My advice?
Stop running away.
Nothing good will come out of that.
My dad killed himself in
front of me when I was young.
Listen, you don't have to do that.
Don't need to justify
yourself. It's okay.
I was ten years old, you know.
I was coming back from school.
My mom was working.
They were at a process of
being divorced at the time, and
he was so against it.
He loved her so much.
Anyway,
I went to his office, and
that's where I found him.
Hanging from the ceiling.
I tried to lift him up
with all of my strength, but.
I was just too weak.
So I just stood there,
unable to do anything.
And my mom found me a few hours later.
So, yeah.
We all have different struggles.
It doesn't mean I don't
know what you're talking about.
[footsteps patter]
Seeing you walking without any sense of
direction is kind of funny, actually.
No need to follow me.
I know where I'm going.
No, you don't.
And you can't even
admit that you're wrong.
Listen, you can't be mad at me
for something you wanted
to share in the first place.
Did I say anything?
You're the one who's following me now.
I shouldn't have talked about him.
Now, the only thing I can
think of is that moment and
this is the last thing I need right now.
Well, again, you felt the need to share.
Has anyone ever told you
that you're kind of a brat?
Only when I want to.
Yeah, I've noticed that.
Come on. I'll take you home.
Come on!
[somber singing]
[somber singing]
What was that song?
I wrote it for my son.
Pretty cool.
That he had the chance to hear it.
No.
[wind]
Hello.
How have you been doing?
So this is your farm?
Yeah.
It'll go insane leaving off land alone.
I'll take this over the city any day.
Keep them away from me.
It won't hurt you. You can probably smell
that you're pregnant.
Really?
Yeah.
I just don't trust
animals that are
bigger than me.
You've got issues.
Do you know that?
So let's just rest for a bit.
Get some coffee, tea,
and I'll drive you back
to wherever you want to go.
Okay.
And if you want to take
some time to just rest,
you're more than welcome to stay.
Could use some company, you know?
Okay.
Just to be clear.
I'm not fucking you.
Don't flatter yourself.
You're not my type and,
you could be my daughter. Come on.
You're a musician or something?
No, not anymore. I used to.
No, I just play in my spare time.
I'm so bad.
I can't even play a note.
We'll teach you the basics if you want.
Ah, it's fine.
But
you can play me that
song you wrote for your son.
No, it's fine.
You want coffee, tea?
Tea's fine.
Come on.
Play it for me.
At least one person will have heard it.
Please?
All right.
[gentle guitar music]
The moon here looks like a boat
my soul is on board.
My mind is full of longing and sorrow
and all the words I left unsaid
when I close my eyes.
I can still feel your two soft hands
please moon aim for the stars
and take my soul home.
And bring me ashore in Angel bay
where god guards you for me
missing you is the
hardest feeling I've ever felt
my heart is forever attached to yours.
I think that's enough.
That was beautiful.
Thank you.
What was your son's name?
Johan.
His name was Johan.
And by the way,
you've never told me yours?
Really?
Yeah.
I'm Gunnar.
Okay, nice to meet you Gunnar.
Nice to meet you too, Ewa.
Can I use your restroom?
Yeah, of course. In there.
Thanks.
[wind]
[eerie music]
[eerie music]
So what are you hunting around here?
- Jesus Christ!
- What?
You never point a gun at somebody.
Put the barrel down.
What?
Jesus Christ.
I'm sorry.
Have you ever fired a gun before?
No, never.
Oh, you cannot leave Iceland
without firing a gun, at least once.
Do I have a choice?
Of course.
Just be careful.
Might get addicted.
No, no, no, no.
- This would seriously hurt your arm.
- Okay.
So it really needs to sit tight here on
the shoulder because the
kickback can be really surprising.
Okay.
Try to keep your arm straight.
Yeah, like this?
Yes, yes.
Can you see?
Yeah.
Good.
You're ready?
Don't stand, yeah.
Stand strong.
What am I aiming at?
It doesn't matter. There's nothing there.
Just go nuts.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
Okay, I'll be right behind you.
Fuck.
That shit hurt!
Yeah! It's amazing, right?
Yeah, amazing.
You want to go again?
I think I'm good.
Really?
Yeah.
And I think it's really my time to go.
Yeah, okay.
Sure.
Just go get your stuff.
Way by the car.
Okay.
[engine idles]
Ewa?
Yeah. I'm ready to go.
Is that really the road to the airport?
Okay, what's going on?
Where are we going?
Just a little detour.
Why are we stopping?
Open your pack.
Why?
Just open your pack.
What's your problem?
I didn't do anything.
Good.
You have nothing to hide, right?
Open your pack.
Just drive me to the airport.
I will.
As soon as you show me
what you've stolen from me.
Fuck you.
I didn't steal anything.
Fuck this, I'm walking.
Unlock the door.
I'm asking you,
one last time.
Open the fucking bag!
Or what?
[tense music]
I'm so sorry.
It was never supposed to end like this.
We really tried our best.
But tell me, how have
you been since we left?
Our relation was poisonous.
But our love for him was healing.
Oh really? Says who?
Don't be cruel.
And don't you play the victim.
It ended just the way you wanted it to.
How can you say that?
You left me all alone.
Without him.
I'll never be
the same again.
Until you feel that urge again.
I have been praying,
hoping for this to happen.
My prayers were heard.
I got my wish fulfilled, not you.
No matter how you run, there is no escape.
You're trapped.
Enjoy yourself, while you can.
[tense music]
Get the fuck out.
Don't touch me. Don't fucking touch me.
You killed them, didn't you?
And now you're gonna kill me.
I promise I won't say anything.
I'm just gonna go and
you'll never see me again.
Who said anything about killing?
Why are we here then?
Do you know what you took?
You said you didn't
give a fuck about her.
I thought you wouldn't mind.
That stuff from her. I don't care.
Take it. Sell it. Throw it away.
What, the squid I gave to my
son on the day he was born?
What the fuck's wrong with you?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, okay?
Just take it then. Take it.
So that's your sick game?
You create connection with people and
then you steal from them?
Look, I just wanna go, okay?
I don't want any trouble.
Yeah, right.
I saw it and I took it without thinking.
When I'm stressed, I steal shit.
And why me?
I don't know. You just
happened to be there.
I thought, "Why not?"
Why not?
Please, give me my bag and
I'll be on my way, please.
Please.
I wish I had your
arrogance when I was your age.
I'll give you that.
You're good.
Yeah.
We're good.
I'm keeping your phone.
Leave.
Leave.

Did you think you had become a true killer?
You really thought you
would get away with this?
No matter how bad you feel.
It's nothing compared to
what you put me through.
And your son... what had
he ever done to you?
I pushed you to the edge.
With terrible consequences...
You know what?
I think you were relieved
when you saw me fall.
You enjoyed seeing me die. Didn't you?
And now, here you are.
You were trying to get the same
high as when you pushed me.
Were you relieved
when I fell off the cliff?
Relieved that it all worked out?
How are you feeling now,
crawling here all alone.
Was it worth it?
You know what?
We all end up where we are supposed to.
Together.
Or all alone.
