Addi, a boy raised by a clairvoyant mother, takes a bullied boy Balli into his gang of outsiders. Left to their own devices, the boys explore violence and learn about loyalty and love. As their behaviour escalates, Addi begins to experience dreamlike visions. A disturbing coming-of-age drama about growing up and other (Icelandic) demons. Winner of Europa Cinemas Label at Berlinale.
