Synopsis

In the remote north of Iceland in the 1980s, Finnbogi and Alfred spend the summer painting lines on the winding roads that stretch out to the horizon. The older and more experienced of the two, Finnbogi, has been asked to do his girlfriends´ family a favor and get her younger brother, Freddi, a job with the Road Administration as well; Take him along for the summer and make a man out of him. The film follows the relationship of these different – almost opposite – characters in the remote wilderness where they must deal with and tolerate each other peculiarities, spending way more time together than either of them would ever choose to do.
