Dómsdagur

A television film about the notorious Sólborg case, in which Sólborg and her brother were charged with abandoning her newborn child to die. The newly qualified lawyer and poet Einar Benediktsson was appointed to judge the case, and matters went so badly that the chief witness died in his hands. He was never the same again: from then on he suffered from a fear of the dark, could never be alone, and believed that Sólborg followed him and haunted his sleep. He died on the anniversary of her death, 12 January, 47 years later.
