Some people on this site were big fans of Vesturport's Children and Parents, the two sibling films that were released over here just over two years ago, and on DVD just before christmas. Those films were the results of a project the acclaimed theater group did together with director Ragnar Bragason but last year they teamed up with Zik Zak Filmworks, the producers of The Last Winter and Bronson, one of the writers of Astropia and director Arni Olafur Asgeirsson to adapt their stage play Brim or Undercurrent and should be hitting the screens over here sometimes next fall.
Here's what production company Zik Zak has to say about the film.
The crew on board the fishing vessel has become uncomfortably numb with its never ending routine of week long tours at sea. It's been the same crew for as long as anyone cares to remember and their world is somehow in balance. Then during one dark and dreary night surrounded by the vast ocean the routine is shaken to its foundation when one of the most solid crewmembers commits suicide. 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 rescue teams can't reach them.
A trailer should be hitting the web soon but a poster has been released for public consumption and you´ll find it bigger after the break.
