Synopsis
Simon (Keith Carradine), who has taken too many punches from this world, returns to his ancestral home, Iceland, resigned to do himself in.

Before he can complete the task, he meets Dúa (Margrét Vilhjálmsdóttir), a free spirit he comes to cherish.

Simon rescues Dúa from a close scrape with the law and they escape to Hamburg, smuggling an Icelandic falcon - once the most prized export of the Vikings. Their plan is to sell it to a wealthy Arab.

A great idea - until they try it.
