Charlotte Bøving, Sigurður Sigurjónsson, Theodór Júlíusson, Jón BenónýssonIn einem abgeschiedenen Tal in Island leben Gummi (Sigurður Sigurjónsson) und Kiddi (Theodór Júlíusson) Seite an Seite und versorgen ihre Schafe. Ihre Schafherden werden als die besten des Landes angesehen und die beiden Brüder werden wiederholt für ihre preiswürdigen Schafböcke ausgezeichnet. Obwohl sie dasselbe Leben führen und das Weideland teilen, haben Gummi und Kiddi seit 40 Jahren nicht mehr miteinander gesprochen. Als eine tödliche Krankheit bei Kiddis Schafen ausbricht, ist das ganze Tal bedroht. Die Behörden entscheiden, dass die Schafe dieser Region erlegt werden sollen, um einen weiteren Ausbruch zu verhindern. Aber Gummi und Kiddi geben nicht so schnell auf - und jeder der Brüder versucht die Katastrophe auf seine Art abzuwehren: Kiddi mit der Waffe und Gummi mit seinem Verstand. Um den Behörden entgegentreten zu können, müssen die Brüder sich zusammenraufen, um ihre spezielle, jahrhundertealte Rasse zu retten und auch sich selbst.
In a secluded valley in Iceland, Gummi and Kiddi live side by side, tending to their sheep. Their ancestral sheep-stock is considered one of the country’s best and the two brothers are repeatedly awarded for their prized rams who carry an ancient lineage. Although they share the land and a way of life, Gummi and Kiddi have not spoken to each other in four decades. When a lethal disease suddenly infects Kiddi’s sheep, the entire valley comes under threat. The authorities decide to cull all the animals in the area to contain the outbreak. This is a near death sentence for the farmers, whose sheep are their main source of income, and many abandon their land. But Gummi and Kiddi don’t give up so easily – and each brother tries to stave off the disaster in his own fashion: Kiddi by using his rifle and Gummi by using his wits. As the authorities close in the brothers will need to come together to save the special breed passed down for generations, and themselves, from extinction.
