Synopsis

Gummi y Kiddi are neighbours in a secluded valley of Iceland. They are devoted to tending to their sheep, awarded several times as the best of the country due to their old lineage. Although they share lands and lifestyle and also are siblings, Gummi and Kiddi have not spoken to each other since decades. But a sudden lethal disease infects one of Kiddi’s sheep and therefore, the entire valley comes under threat and the authorities are forced to sacrifice all the cattle of the zone in order to stop the disease. This is a death sentence for some of the farmers, who have sheep as their main income source. But Gummi and Kiddi do not give up easily, even when they have to put old quarrels aside in order to confront the authorities.
