WESTFIRDIER, NORDWESTURHORN ISLANDS, 1980

TRIP WITH MOM

CHAPTER ONE BEGINNING AND END

Then Sigga opened her eyes and saw nothing.

Gullfoss, the Golden Waterfall, says goodbye to a double rainbow

with my best friend" -

Eirikur said loudly, looking at the streams of water.

"I don't need to say goodbye. I have him right here" -

Sigga answered, placing her weakening hand over her heart.

Then she spoke so quietly

that Eirikur had to lean in to hear:

"I sanctify my mind in your mist, I bathe

my heart in your magnificent hearth."

Eirikur closed the back door and sat

down in the front seat next to Asgrimur.

They went.

- I have never been there. - A?

- I haven't been to Gullfoss. - No.

I was at Geysir once with my mother.

But I don't have a photo of me from that trip.

She had a photograph of her from Gullfoss.

Is it true? But she lived so close.

I want to take a photo on Gullfoss.

Is it too late for this?

Do you have a camera.

We're not going anywhere, are we?

Change it!

This is a weather station. The weather forecast for tomorrow.

Over eastern Greenland the pressure is 1018 millibars, decreasing

to 997 millibars from the west of Scotland to the east.

The temperature will change slightly...

Gullfoss?

I think no.

Sweaters.

Like this.

- Hold it. - Cassette?

Oh yes!

- How many do you have? - Ten, they are with sweaters.

Are there any new ones here?

Yes.

- Then we're even. - Great.

Let's go to!

Let's go, boy.

Wearing seat belts will

become mandatory in the UK.

The House of Commons is considering the

motion, which is expected to be adopted.

Loan Gilbert, the transport

minister, says wearing seat belts...

What will you do when I die?

A?

You heard.

- You're not dying, are you? - Don't know.

You don't die, that's what we're talking about.

I don't want you to be here alone.

I have a dog.

I'm worried about you.

I can handle.

Do you remember what you promised?

Yes.

- Promises must be kept. - I know.

What will you do to me when I die?

Once you're dead, there's not much that can be done.

What will you do with me?

- I'll find you a place. - Where?

- Next to my father. - No.

No. Then in the south. In the village.

In Eyrarbakki.

Yes, in Eyrarbakki.

- Can I rely on you? - I think you can.

- Can I rely on you? - I already answered.

Repeat!

- You can rely on me. - What?

That I will bury you in Eyrarbakki.

But most importantly, I don't...

You don't want to be cremated.

And you know that I want to be decently dressed?

Yes.

Change it!

Mommy.

Dear mom.

Are you here, dear mommy?

All my clothes are laid out.

Have you come such a long way?

Mother?

Mother!

Let's go to!

Brezhnev!

Where is this brat?

Brezhnev!

To me!

Brezhnev, come here, boy!

Come here! Brezhnev!

Come on! Come here!

Come!

As you wish.

Damn it.

I won't get any help from you now.

So what should we do? What will he do?

Sorry!

Sorry.

Hello!

Unfortunately, we will not be able to pass you by.

Sorry…

We won't be able to leave.

It is impossible to go back or turn around.

It's difficult to turn a large car around.

Can you help me?

Bring a map!

What a hillbilly!

Look!

Look, look!

It is much shorter for you to drive back.

We can't... it's impossible...

We... are foreigners...

We are not used to driving on such roads.

Can you turn around?

It seems he wants us to move back. Agree?

No.

Will you surrender to the Nazis?

Nazi?

Damn it!

You are as spineless as your father.

What do you want?

Crazy people!

Don't come, stand there.

You like James Lust, don't you?

Hey! What is wrong with you?

Jerk!

Yes, this is before you.

You never met her!

Well, you asked!

Let's go to!

Great-grandmother Elinbjort Vigdis

Valthorsdottir from South Reikir

died at her home in Hafnarfjörður on June 13.

The funeral will take place in…

What did you watch?

A?

What did you watch?

A? Where when?

What were you watching there?

No matter what.

Are you whining?

Whine? Of course I wasn't whining.

- Were you whining about the photo album? - No!

She would still betray you.

…growth will be stable over the next five years.

Kosygin did not agree with the criticism of General Secretary

Brezhnev regarding economic decisions in the Union of Soviet...

Not everything is so simple when it

comes to Comrade Kosygin. Huh?

Do not you agree?

Yes!

CHAPTER TWO THE OUTSIDE WORLD

Left.

Right.

Hello.

I'm heading to Bjarkarlundur.

I'm sorry, what?

Bjarkarlundur?

We're going south. Something happened?

Sorry?

Why were you waving your hand at us to stop?

I don't speak Icelandic.

And we…

In Icelandic.

She is alright?

She is dead.

Ahh, okay. May be you…

Thank you. No problem.

Left.

No. Sit there.

Hello.

Something from the kitchen?

What should I bring you?

We're hungry.

We have a great

deal on lamb chops.

Shall I serve you today's dish?

Two lamb chops.

What?

- Two lamb chops from the offer? - Yes.

Yes. Please have a seat.

Fine.

Good evening!

Where are you going on such a beautiful night?

Who are you?

Good question!

- Are you from here? Western fjords? - Yes.

- But from another district, right? - Yes.

My friend and I are celebrating her birthday.

- I won't tell you her age... - Don't.

No, I'm just saying...

She's a little over 30. You understand, right?

Today we have a birthday girl.

It's Dua's birthday and we sing.

By the way, about Dua. It reminds us of this song!

Great place, we come here all the time...

Here you go, two signature

chops from the offer.

No.

Looks like the lady stayed in the car?

Dedicated to all lovers who

will watch the comet tomorrow. 

Hi, darling.

Can I sit down? Mister Charm.

Won't you even wish me a happy birthday?

A?

Yes.

Nevertheless thank you.

Are you here all alone?

Left your spouse at home?

Did you go on a trip on a beautiful summer night?

Or maybe you are a photographer?

- Where are you going? - South.

Yes…

You live there?

No.

No…

Great camera!

This is the Pentax Spotmatic.

Reflex camera.

Really, mirrored?

Yes, single lens reflex...

35 millimeters, black and white film Tri-x...

We have a special request from the birthday girl.

- The only film I use... - Dua.

Get up here and let's go.

Listen.

This is especially for you! Cute.

For you boys!

Is Dua still in the room?

Yes, probably.

- This is normal. - No, it's not normal.

Sleepy.

Hey! Come out!

Get out!

Damn you!

- Where did you learn to drive, man? - Hey guy!

- Where did you learn to drive? - No need to get rowdy.

Rowdy?

A?

How should you react to an attempted murder, eh?

Attempted murder?

What are you up to?

Intending to cause a massive accident? A?

Crap!

Good afternoon

What's happened?

Just ask this Neanderthal.

He's putting us all in danger by slinking around like a snail!

Can you walk with me for a minute?

Do not touch me!

Hey!

Let's go!

Are you arresting me for trying to force me

to obey even the slightest traffic rules?

Calm down, guy. Nobody is arresting you.

Carefully!

Well…

- How are we doing? - I'm fine.

- There is a line of cars behind you. - Yes…

What did you say? “There's a line of cars behind me...”?

- How fast were you driving? - The speedometer showed 42.

- You can't call it speed. - No.

Look, it's unfortunately too slow for a highway.

You are creating a danger by moving so slowly.

- Do you have a license? - Yes, I have.

So-so.

Jon from Arnarfjord?

Don't you remember me?

Sven? Sven from Sugandafjord.

At one time, we sometimes met between fishing tours.

You were courting a girl from Patreksfjörður.

What was her name? Berg-whatever.

Bergrun or Bergljot.

Jon from Arnarfjord!

This is your mom, right?

Yes.

Hello. Do you remember me?

No.

- Where are you going? - South.

- To Reykjavik? - In Eyrarbakki.

Eyrarbakki? Do you have relatives there?

Mom.

- Does your mother have relatives there? - Yes.

Are you planning to stay for a long time?

She is going there to retire.

Do they have a sanatorium there?

- A? - This is a place for temporary rest. 

She doesn't need to rest, she's dead.

So, Jon...

Your driver's license is slightly expired.

And you must undergo a technical inspection at the first opportunity.

You really should go to your nearest auto repair shop. 

I should stop you from going right now, but...

But for good old times sake, not to mention your mother...

I'll give you the opportunity to make things right.

Fine?

I don't say that often.

Try to go a little faster.

Or take less congested roads.

Maybe this will be better for you? 

Listen…

Aren't you going to

watch Comet today?

An impressive sight.

OK.

Bye, Jon. Bon Voyage.

Maniac!

- Bergrun. - Bergdis!

Bergdis, Bergrun, Bergljot, what's the difference?

Now is not the right time to talk about her.

It's never a good time to talk about her.

- To the right! - Yes I see!

Shut up boy!

Stop this whining, now!

Sit down, boy!

He has crazy energy!

Just like his father.

Come into the house.

Looks like it will be dry today.

No wind.

Calmly.

It's not so bad.

Well…

Does the lady want to have coffee?

No.

- She's probably tired? - No.

- No? - She is dead.

At least she wasn't tired. 

Are you tired to death?

Goodbye.

Wait.

He loves soaked square cookies.

But the thick round one is not very good.

We'll figure something out.

Yes.

He can't live without a dog, right?

You should know that you can't live without a dog.

No way.

It's not my fault that the dog threw itself under the wheel!

I won't accept your accusations anymore.

I'm tired of your constant nagging!

All the time, every day!

CHAPTER THREE EVERY ROAD FROM HOME IS A ROAD HOME

- Change it! - A?

Change it!

The cassette is not over yet.

Turn off that howling!

- I thought you liked this song? - I hate her!

OK.

- But did dad often whistle this melody? - Yes.

- I thought this was your song? - Not mine.

Your father had terrible taste in music.

- It seems like this song was popular in your youth? - Yes.

- So she was popular? - Yes, I was.

I imagined you and dad dancing to this song.

Your father didn't know how to dance.

- He thought only about sheep. - Yes.

He was not interested in anything outside the district and the fjord. 

Except you, of course.

He lied to me.

What?

I was young and innocent.

What?

Mister Great Farmer from the Vestfjord estate.

I wouldn't call our farm an estate.

Yes, that's for sure.

It's true that grandparents

did not come to visit in the first years of your marriage,

before I was born? - Is it true.

- And after too? - Yes.

- And no one from the family? - No.

It's kind of lonely here

without Brezhnev.

I'm not saying I started to miss him. 

At least I have you.

We need to look into the future with optimism.

And don't wallow in the past.

The past is gone and we cannot change it.

As my father used to say: “While the sun still rises in the morning...”

Oh, spare me the sentimental crap!

You're probably glad to finally be back in Eyrarbakki?

We were going to go there after my father died, remember?

I doubt.

But you said...

I didn't say anything like that.

I think you shouldn't have married your father.

Why didn't you leave him?

Where was I supposed to go?

Home, of course.

Home? Back to Eyrarbakki?

Yes, go home.

The Bridd family doesn't allow anyone to

make mistakes, that much I know for sure.

I was just a young and stupid girl

who fell in love with an older man

and I had nowhere to go.

Where was I supposed to go?

- "The Bridd Family." - Your father was ignorant.

A?

- What does “a” mean? - Why?

He had absolutely no manners.

Dad's?

What are you, slow-witted?

At least I'm Bridd.

There is no merit in this.

Can't wait to visit family places.

Touch your roots.

Although I don't expect to meet any relatives.

They're all dead.

- Are we the last of the Mohicans? - Yes.

I never let your father touch me.

Well, yes…

After I got pregnant with you.

At least it's not my fault.

What a terrible reckless driver you are!

My Cortina doesn't like this conversation.

Maybe she's thirsty.

You can't rely on the indicator.

Well…

Maybe we can spend the night here?

Quite a suitable place, right?

Turn on the music?

Ah, damn it!

I'm beautiful and cheerful, Jon is on his way,

I'm happy, I'm having fun, Jon is on his way.

Fear, anxiety, now

they disappear,

because Jon is already on his way.

One spring night, Jon decided

to leave, and I was left to grieve.

I wanted him so much

There was a fire burning in

me, but he left me in a quagmire.

I'm beautiful and I'm cheerful, Jon is on his way,

I'm happy, I'm having fun, Jon is already on his way.

Fear, anxiety, now

they disappear,

because Jon is already on his way.

Who needs a radio?

We…

We sometimes danced to songs from the radio show.

A?

She really liked to dance.

- Huh? - Bergdis.

We don't have as much fun anymore

after her departure.

Why bring up the past?

- I thought we were having fun? - Maybe.

You couldn't stand it, right?

She was a Trojan horse.

Trojan horse?

What are you talking about?

You didn't like her from the beginning. 

Apparently your father thought so too.

That she's a Trojan horse?

It was obvious that he thought she was a whore.

- He was always nice to her. - Yes exactly!

I think you're the slow-witted one.

Don't you understand that I care about her? 

Ugh.

I think that I…

loved her.

- What do you know about love? - In what sense?

Why do you think she suddenly disappeared? 

She didn't want to live in the village.

We discussed this.

She didn't even want you to go with her.

I told her I had to think about it.

Why do you think she didn't give you time to think?

What you're suggesting?

Is everything okay here?

Is everything okay here?

What a great night!

Did you remember to make a wish?

Well, with a comet.

I immediately decided that I would make a wish.

It's good that I found you.

Wasn't it I who found you?

I'm glad you came.

The car is acting up.

- She's just getting old. - Yes.

And not intended for long trips. 

No.

Was there a dog with you?

Yes, Brezhnev.

Brezhnev - General Secretary?

Brezhnev is the son of Svetlana,

daughter of Nadezhda Alliluyeva.

- Alliluyeva? - You remember her.

Brownish, barked all the time...

Oh yes, I remember!

A difficult nickname.

Hard working bitch.

And now you two are traveling together.

Brezhnev found a new home.

Happens.

So are you.

I moved.

- They said you were in Selfoss. - Is it true?

Why did you leave?

Did I have a choice?

We loved each other.

Yes.

You didn't even write.

Did you write?

I didn't have an address.

And yet here we are.

I have to arrange for my mother.

Yes.

Do you know what dreams are made of?

Dreams?

Yes.

Look!

Hey, I wanted to show you a photo...

Wow!

What have you done, boy?

Did you run away, boy?

You can't run away from your obligations!

This is not accepted!

Well.

Let's go, boy.

You can't run away from your obligations!

We don't do that.

Old man.

Well, damn it!

Oh my god, you jinxed it!

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Car problem?

I wanted to become a photographer.

I have dreamed of traveling to Iceland since I was a child.

I would have to move to Reykjavik.

I didn't stay in Reykjavik long. 

I was a student there.

To Bndudalur, then to Patreksfjörður.

This was not the Iceland I dreamed of.

And it was there that I met Bergdis, my girlfriend. 

My girlfriend lived there for several

years before we met in France.

We were going to get married.

I brought her home to introduce her to my parents.

Reykjavik reminded me of her.

And then…

One day she disappeared.

I didn't know where.

There are so many cities in Iceland.

Perhaps Iceland is my final refuge.

Selfoss.

I heard she lived there.

- Selfoss? - Yeah.

- You and Selfoss? - Yeah.

Maybe she still lives there.

I needed to leave the city.

Maybe she's still waiting for me.

The doctors took me off all my medications.

Or maybe he doesn't wait.

I love being alone in the mountains.

I have to make sure of this.

And talk to God.

They didn't get along, my mother and her.

With my God.

I am fulfilling my mother's last wishes.

This is the best thing I've ever done in my life.

Maybe I shouldn't do this?

Even though the path was difficult...

She doesn't deserve this.

...at certain moments.

I've been taking care of her for 30 years.

I'm happy.

Since my father died.

I'm happy with what I've done

in my life and I'm ready to die.

She was never happy, even when her father was alive.

I came to terms with my conscience.

Icelandic, your sweater.

I'm not a farmer, are you?

Nice pattern.

Are you a farmer?

Mom and I knitted sweaters.

Was your mother a farmer?

Yes, and we sold them to the local co-op store.

Why don't you transport her in a coffin?

Okay, I'll go check it out...

Incredible!

Mom and I will go to Gullfoss, then to Geysir.

If you want, come with us.

Gullfoss and Geysir?

How tempting!

I'll pass them by...

Will you go there on foot?

I walk.

Goodbye and thank you.

Hey, wait a minute!

Thanks, good luck.

Good luck.

Left.

Does Bergdis live here?

Yes.

She is at home?

You are talking to her.

No, you are not Bergdis.

Mommy, who's there?

Who you are?

My name is Jon.

Bergdis and I know each other.

You're talking about my mother, Bergdis Gísladóttir.

Yes.

God, she is so young and beautiful.

- It is you? - Yes I.

She doesn't live here?

No. She hasn't lived here for ten years.

- She lives in Newcastle. - In Newcastle?

- Yes, in New South Wales... - New... South... 

In Australia.

Would you like to get coffee?

CHAPTER FOUR WHEN DOES A WOMAN KILL A MAN?

How are things in the bay?

I had a friend here.

Do you remember how you received the letter that was intended for me?

No. I don't remember this.

Why do you ask?

So you still keep all the letters? 

Yes. I think yes.

- Are you thinking about... - Yes.

- What? - What?

What do you think?

Why have I never seen the letter

Bergdis wrote shortly after she left us?

- A? - Where is the letter?

Which Bergdis wrote to me?

- A? - You are dumb?

- Which letter? - "Which letter"?

What was written there?

What do you think could have been written there?

Nothing special, I guess, other than

that she is pregnant and expecting a baby!

- Huh? - My child!

- Do you have a child? - For heaven's sake!

What the hell letter are you talking about?

I know you got it!

I'm not listening to you!

The truth can hurt.

You just need to get help, don't you think?

You deprived me of my daughter!

Don't let anyone listen to your nonsense.

- I have a child! - Who said?

- And grandchildren! - You have always been gullible.

I just talked to my daughter!

What do you think you know?

You just never wanted me to have

an independent life, without you!

You know you are special!

Bergdis wanted to break off the relationship...

But still she wrote me a letter!

I always tried to protect you!

What you said?

Was it a girl?

Come here!

Go, go, sit down.

CHAPTER FIVE WHEN DOES A MAN KILL A WOMAN?

- So you admit that you set the car on fire? - Yes.

- Knowing about the mother in the back seat? - Yes.

- So you admit that you burned your mother? - Yes.

- Alive in the car. - No!

Didn't you just admit...

She wasn't alive!

Wasn't she alive?

This is not consistent with eyewitness testimony.

He ordered two lamb chops.

And he only ate one.

He took the second one to the car, where the woman was waiting for him.

She clearly didn't want to go inside.

Maybe she had a phobia or something?

They don't feed the corpse, no.

Not where I'm from.

He mentioned the dog.

Have you seen the dog?

I didn't see the dog. What dog?

I've known Jon for a long time.

I worked seasonally on a fishing trawler in the Westfjords.

I knew the old hag a little.

That's another thing

very eccentric and energetic.

And you saw her in Cortina when they stopped Jon, right?

Oh yes, she was sitting in the back, very relaxed.

She looked very strict.

Have you talked to her?

Yes, we all talked.

I think they mentioned they were going to Eyrarbakki.

And the old woman was going to rest somewhere.

In Eyrarbakki?

Yes, or somewhere else.

But the old woman didn't really say anything.

She was always not very talkative.

- You don't know exactly where this guy is from? - No.

And you don't know his name?

No.

How are we going to find this guy?

- He is sick. - How?

Don't know.

So what do you know about him?

He is a good person and very sympathetic.

Well, that really narrows down the search.

- Yes. - Yes.

SENTENCED TO SEVEN YEARS IN PRISON. NOT GOING TO FILE AN APPEAL.

CHAPTER SIX THE END AND THE BEGINNING

- Give me the ball! - The blues caught him. The Blues have the ball.

Please continue.

Yes, I want to check the order.

Yes.

Yes, Jon Jonsson.

Litla Hraun Prison.

Yes. It's been at least a week since I paid for it. 

Yes, yes, I know.

Yes OK.

Jon?

Jon!

- What? - Your package has arrived.

- Is it true? - Very big!

Yes.

Great!

That's all.

- Thank you! - Goodbye.

Yes.

- Is it all wool? - Yes.

Whose dog is this?

I have no idea. My mother feeds him.

What's his name?

- Mom calls him Beggar. - Beggar?

No, he's a Dog. Not a Beggar.

I'll call him Beggar.

Fine.

Don't be too uptight.

- Let's watch. - Yes.

Only the neck remained.

Perfect for sheep gathering.

No, wait, listen.

Remember, you don't need a lot of loops.

Yes OK.

Don't tense your shoulders. Relax.

You've done well here.

You're a positive influence on guys.

My employees and I discussed

what a pity it would be to lose you.

I'm just saying...

So are you waiting for a letter from the Department of Justice?

I hope you are having a good time with us?

About the possible resumption of your business.

Because new evidence has emerged.

Yes.

It will be very sad if you leave.

Well, I already said it...

I just want you to know

what we see for you

a bright future is beyond these walls.

- Yes. - So what do you say?

Sounds good…

And in this institution they never thought

to have a photo salon here?

Dark room with a photo enlarger.

Won't it be too expensive?

Listen. Did I tell you we're

going to get this new VCR?

This means we will be able to offer all kinds of films

on these VHS tapes.

"Rocky", for example. Have you seen "Rocky"?

You should watch

Rocky, great movie, great.

Be sure to watch "Rocky"!

We just watched it.

Great movie!

Come here, Beggar!

Beggar!

Bergdis.

It's your turn.

I would like to take you all to Russia.

And tell you about Nadezhda

Alliueva and her tragic fate.

Let's raise a toast!
