Set in Iceland, a widow falls in love with an outlaw who has come to work on her farm, and in order to escape the authorities, they run to the mountains. Here they hunt food in the sky and the rivers, have a child, meet an old friend, and for sixteen years apparently have a pretty swell time of it until a bad snowstorm hits.
Being a melodrama, its all fairly on the nose, and while it attempts to pull your heart strings, it mostly just jumps from plot point to plot point, meaning the sentiment does not connect. Still, there is a certain rugged romantic charm about living wild and free. I suspect also that on a clearer print the mountain scenery would be spectacular. Even on the lesser print I viewed it was quite spectacular, and for mine, the star of the show.
