Tyrfingsson, TyrfingurBlue EyesBláskjár

Daddy is finally dead. Walter and Elle, brother and sister, are going to move out of the basement where they’ve been holed up for years while their father and the favorite child, Eric, lived on the upper floors. They have high hopes about the move because now their dreams of fame in the form of a bimbo book and a love affair with a taxi driver in Norway can come true. But first they need to get the old man into the grave and get rid of the favorite child, hopefully for good.

Walter and Elle are first world people who drone on about change and a better future, trying to recycle themselves by whatever strange means necessary.

Blue eyes is an Icelandic tragi-comedy, with an absurd edge, and tells the story of two siblings from Kópavogur and their earnest desire to renew themselves and start afresh.

In fact, it’s about some other things too such as patriarchy, cruelty, violence and our weak attempts to tell each other the truth.
