Count Me Out

Stikkfrí (Count Me Out) is a lively, funny Icelandic family film about ten-year-old Hrefna, who discovers on her birthday that her father – whom she has always believed lives in France – actually lives in Reykjavík with a new family. With her best friend she sets out to find him, but the adventure takes an unexpected turn when the two girls take Hrefna’s little half-sister along and the police start searching for the child. María played the little girl’s mother, a smart, dressed-up lady caught up in an unexpected chain of events.

With warmth and humour, the film deals with family ties, divorce, loss and children’s longing for love and recognition.
