XL
The ex-family man, avid womanizer, heavy drinking, heavy weight parlimentarian Leifur Sigurðarson is forced to go to rehab, by his political rival the PM, following a well publicised art exhibition brawl. Full of denial, Leifur gives a small but grand dinner party before checking in. As the gathering slowly matures into a full blown party we get to know the host and his guests better, and learn about the relationships within the group: The dealings of Leifur and the underworld king pin Eiríkur, the stunning Æsa, an art student and Leifur´s very young number one girl ... but when it´s time to leave - svery few do, turning the night into an adventure exclusively for those old enough to vote.
