THE COUNTY

A widowed farmer begins a new life on her own terms by fighting against corruption and injustice in her community.
Saturday 28 March | Town Hall | Doors 7:30 PM ​Session 8:00 PM
Director: Grímur Hákonarson | 2019 | Iceland | 92 mins | 12A | Icelandic with subtitles
TICKETS

Rams writer/director Grímur Hákonarson delivers a powerful David-and-Goliath tale about an independent farmer whose defiance of her local corrupt co-operative brings her face to face with its sinister underside. Arndis Hronn Egilsdottirgives a commanding performance as Inga, a newly widowed dairy farmer struggling to survive in a small rural community. When she discovers that the Co-op's underhand practices have contributed to her husband's death and their insurmountable debts, she is determined to expose them. The snow-dusted fields and bleak, unspoilt lands of Iceland provide an achingly beautiful backdrop as she goes into battle.
