UNDERCURRENT - dir. ÁRNI ÓLI ÁSGEIRSSON

Synopsis: The crew on board a fishing vessel has become uncomfotably numb with its never ending routine of week long tours at sea. Then during one dark night the routine is shaken to its foundation when one of the most solid crewmembers commits suicide. To fill this gap a young female takes his place on the next tour and gradually the fragile balance is tipped, and personal issues that should be left on the mainland cause dangerous friction between the crewmembers. When things look like they can´t get any worse the power goes down on the vessel and a storm is brewing so that the rescue teams can´t reach them.
