A borrowed camera, a six-hour drive with one CD stuck in the car stereo. My first visit to the beautiful land of Ice, with the best tour guide/friend a guy could want. Whilst there, the story of the dilapidated fish factory unfurled before my eyes and ears.
The author of this short film describes his visit to Iceland and, in particular, a tour to the small, remote village of Djúpavík in the North-West of the country. About 70 km from the nearest settlement, Djúpavík consists of seven lonely houses, a well-kept hotel, and the ruins of a herring factory, which used to be one of the largest concrete buildings in Europe. It’s a strange and fascinating place.
I recommend you set aside about ten minutes of your busy schedule and watch this short film about big dreams and ambitions, money, power, and fish. I assure you the time will be well spent.
