Short description

Based on the saga of Gísli Súrsson, one of the Icelandic Sagas. The attempt of a family head in 10th century Iceland to strengthen the fragile bonds within the clan through blood brotherhood turns into the opposite through suspicion and resentment. When the law of blood revenge has to be fulfilled after a murder, a fateful chain reaction is set in motion.

What's left behind the scenes

The film is based on a historical source – "The Saga of Gisli the Son of Ólaf" (13th century). The events described in the saga occurred before the adoption of Christianity in Iceland (according to most researchers, in 962–978).
