Dauðalogn

After being hit hard by the global economic crisis in 2008, Iceland has been the protagonist of a miraculous recovery. The island has chosen to take a step back (or forward?) returning to the land and betting on a green and sustainable economy based on natural resources. Dauðalogn is a journey through a country of sharp contrasts, but also the Bildungsroman of a child, Andry, becoming an adult in an open dialogue with the regions extreme nature.
