SYNOPSIS

Mild-mannered Halla is an Icelandic choir director who longs to be a mother, but just as she’s approved to adopt a child from war-torn Ukraine, her commitment to environmental activism suddenly poses a dilemma. Halla’s low-tech eco-terrorism, set in the stunning beauty of Iceland’s highlands, piques the ire of pro-industry government and media forces, pitting dreams of motherhood against determination to protect this rugged landscape from ruinous mining interests. Dazzling camerawork, timely political satire, a star turn by Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir (as Halla), and a unique approach to film music are just some of the elements elevating Woman At War from quirky to extraordinary.



Please be advised that the majority of the films programmed by the AVFS are independently produced and are, as yet, unrated. Viewers with sensitivity to sexual, violent, or crude themes are advised to investigate the content before attending.
