“Let’s start with a little spring song to warm up the soul.”
Halla is a choir teaching, bike riding, lap swimming, mountain climbing, tree hugging, headline making, drone smashing, helicopter evading, bow and arrow wielding woman at war with Iceland’s heavy industry. She is the Mountain Woman and she is going to change the world.
Woman at War premiered at Cannes where its screenplay was recognized by the Société des Auteurs et Compositeurs Dramatiques, and later won the Nordic Film Council Prize and the European Union’s Lux Prize. (ZACH WORTZMAN)
