THE BEAST - dir. HILMAR ODDSSON

Synopsis: Far away from the stress and noise of the city, Helgi plans to put the finishing touches on his first novel. He also sets himself the task of shooting at least one reindeer before his stay at his remote, childhood home is over. The dream of the fallen reindeer becomes the main reason for his presence in the fjord, but when there is no sign of the beast, he becomes increasingly desperate.
