The read
It runs a compact 29m.
Synopsis
In a small Faroese village, four men find a sealed liquor barrel washed ashore at low tide. They hustle the heavy barrel into a basement, away from the prying eyes. Soon, however, the sneaking suspicion arises that instead of liquor, the mysterious barrel might in fact contain something else. Tensions run high as the host, Símun, eventually has to handle both the negotiations down in the basement, as well as his distrustful wife upstairs.
