| Summary |
Dairy farmers Inga and her husband Reynir, love each other deeply, but are trapped they're in debt, they're working 24/7 and haven't had a vacation in years. Inga has always been frustrated by the unquestioned commitment Reynir has to the local co-operative, unable to see the logic in them holding a monopoly over the milk they produce (nor in being forced to pay considerably more for groceries and supplies than what those items cost online or in Reykjavik). So after disaster strikes, and the plucky Inga is forced to try and make it on her own, she launches a social media campaign to bring attention to the organisation's exploitative practices. Unfortunately, everyone else in the community is dependent on its economic heft, and Inga's quest soon makes her the target of a ruthless adversary. |
