Astridur 2

When this second series begins Astridur is head of the resolution committee for a fallen bank. She’s in a bad place. She’s angry and bitter and doesn’t handle her job very well. Her bitterness is due to disappointment in the romantic department. David dumped her at the departure gate when they had decided to move together to Copenhagen. She has a hard time forgiving him for that and takes it out on those closest to her. Especially her uncle Bjarni who she lives with now. As the series progresses we see how our heroine gets a grip on her life and comes to terms with her situation. But that journey is a turbulent and stormy one.
