Falcons (film)

[1] It is the story of an ex-convict,[2] Simon (Keith Carradine),[3] who after returning to Iceland where his mother was born, to visit relatives, looks for the loneliest place in the world to commit suicide.

In a small village he meets Dúa (Margrét Vilhjálmsdóttir), an Icelandic young lady, who he finds to be an interesting, rather strange woman.

Dúa has a caged falcon that she hopes to tame, but they get into trouble as it is illegal to possess this kind of animal in captivity.

Dúa's falcon, that she nourished and protected when her uncle found it with a broken wing, has a high value to her, as she considers it last remnant of the beloved life in Iceland.

The music composition was mainly by Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson and several important artists who set up a proper atmosphere to the film's plot.
