A film by Agust Gudmundsson

DESCRIPTION
The beautiful, recently widowed Frey returns home to her remote fishing village in post-WWII Iceland after living in America as an officer's wife. Freya moves into the small house of distant relatives and turns their lives upside down. With her long chestnut brown hair, slender figure, and chic American fashions, she is somewhat of a mystery to the women of the household, including inquisitive eleven-year-old Agga, and even more so to the men of the community. But as Agga soon notices, strange things have been happening since Freya's return. Women are asserting their independence and men are mysteriously keeling over. Is Freya a murderess? A goddess of love? These are questions young Agga would very much like to have answered.
