Rannvá and Barba, two young friends, return to the islands of their birth after years abroad. Sparks fly when the girls arouse curiosity and indignation with their bizarre big-city style and lack of restraint. But there is more to their mission than you'd think. Both have skeletons in their closets, particularly vis-à-vis their families, and now everything is to be brought out into the open. They get a lift from Rúni, a local drifter who also proves to have a dark secret, and the trio set off on a journey not only across the beautiful Faeroese landscape but also into the land of the past.
