This documentary is a portrait of the Icelandic capital as it is seen and experienced by three young Icelanders. Reykjavik moves, changes and bubbles like the island’s craters. Everything seems possible. Our characters are all under 25. They talk about their lives and their dreams. Will they be able to realize these dreams in Iceland, Europe or elsewhere? Their stories are set in and depict the city, giving us a sense of the euphoria of summer without
night and the melancholy of winter without day.
