Of Horses and Men

Benedikt Erlingsson’s first feature film premieres on 28 August.

A cruel rural romance about the human in the horse and the horse in the human. Love, sex, horses and death intertwine with terrible consequences – tales of fate among country people, seen from the horse’s point of view. Sólveig loves Kolbeinn and Kolbeinn loves Sólveig, but Kolbeinn also loves his mare Grána, who in turn loves the stallion Brúnn. This story may not end well. María plays a vet who gelds the finest horse in the film.
