What it’s about. Post-war provincial Iceland: around 1950, Freyja, who'd been a plump teen, returns from America, a widow with a 20-inch waist, seven suitcases of dresses, and a list of who ever wronged or slighted her. She moves in with an aunt and socialist uncle: finding a new husband is high on her agenda, and she's mistrusted by Agga, a pre-teen who's our eyes and ears. The social order and Freyja are more complicated than they seem at first, and so may be her prospects. Class divisions, families ties, pride, the onset of puberty, and the power of Eros sliver the ice.

Who’s in it. Mávahlátur stars Margrét Vilhjálmsdóttir as Freyja, Ugla Egilsdóttir as Agga, Heino Ferch as Björn Theódór and Hilmir Snær Guðnason as Magnús, among others.
