Two young strangers, Stella and Robert, from different backgrounds, grandchildren of the generation that founded the republic, drive aimlessly in the "naked" but magnificent landscape of Iceland. The isolation of the Icelandic people has come to an end in today's modern and hi-tec world, and traditional values have been abandoned. This is a gripping story of ordinary people who have stolen a car and a credit card and embark on a journey to meet their fate - a journey based on the nature of mankind.
