Synopsis
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. So after disaster strikes, the plucky Inga decides to shine a light on 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.

Set in rural Iceland, The County unfurls as if Ken Loach found himself near the Arctic Circle, looked around at the myriad villages and struggling farms, and thought, “Hm, I wonder if there is a labor struggle to found here!” There is.

Inextricably rooted in lead Arndis Hrönn Egilsdöttir’s quietly defiant performance, The County tells an immersive, timeless David vs. Goliath story set against a contemporary backdrop of shifting societal norms.

Hákonarson alternates between crowd-pleasing defiance . . . and a downbeat assessment of how much change is realistically possible, never fully committing to either mode. The result feels less complex than just wishy-washy.
