This is completely unacceptable.

I am trying to run a business.

I was expecting this money.

Any decent man

would have settled the debt

before proposing to my daughter!

Is it such a big deal?.

Honor our agreement

or l`ll get a lawyer.

Why not get someone

to rough me up, make me pay?.

I`ll do it if I have to.

If you don`t pay by tomorrow...

the wedding will be called off!

- Is everything all right?.

- l`m having a hard time breathing.

- l`m sorry, I just...

- Mom!

He seduces our daughter

and then tries to swindle us.

- That womanizer from hell.

- What`s going on?.

Ask your father!

Hello...

Yes, I can hear you.

What?. I can`t hear you now.

Dad?.

Damn!

Do you mind

if I smoke in the car?.

Suit yourself.

Nine holes?.

A golf course has eighteen, right?.

It`s half a course.

You just go two rounds.

This is quite a project?.

Not that big -

thirty, forty maybe.

- Thirty, forty?.

- Million.

You`ll get your money back

in about five years and after that,

pure ecstasy.

You start on the reef,

hit over to the second hole.

This is the graveyard,

two bunkers, sand traps...

So you have to shoot

over the graveyard?.

Or over the church.

No challenge, no fun!

The third hole

is on Lalli and Sisi`s land.

Lalli and Sisi?.

Sisi and Lalli.

That`s our land, isn`t it?.

That`s the idea.

Jon will be renting your land.

- Me?.

- Really?.

Isn`t that so?.

Well, a man has got

to keep himself busy, right?.

He`ll cut the grass for you,

you get the hay and also the rent.

The guesthouse fills up with golfers

and everybody profits!

We have to make a toast to that!

What do you think you`re doing?.

Put it on Jon`s tab.

We have to celebrate.

Jon`s tab?.

Pure ecstasy.

It`s a birdie!

What a stupid place

to start a golf course.

This isn`t for beginners, you know.

I`ve been trying to help Jon

make some money.

But no, he won`t have that.

- Why don`t you want to make money?.

- We`re getting there.

Getting where?.

So when do I get paid?.

- Pay you?.

- We have to advertise, put up a website.

When we get the subsidy.

Grants and handouts!

Just like in the Soviet, Comrade Jon.

He`s against tourists.

They are the future.

- What are you doing, darling?.

- Just touching up the wedding dress.

- Do you like it?.

- lt`s nice.

It feels like I just got married yesterday.

How time flies.

Your dad was so cute, tall and thin.

We were so young.

Doing everything together,

the first apartment,

our first loan.

Darling, are you sure

you`re doing the right thing?.

You`re missing out on so much.

Just stepping into his old life.

I don`t have to do everything like you.

It`s not the only way.

- The man is turning gray.

- So what?.

Maybe it`s all right now.

But then you get to my age.

- What about children?.

- Stop it, please.

I`m close to blowing

the whole thing off.

What`s wrong with you?.

You can`t cancel my wedding.

We`ll just go to Reykjavik

and get married there.

What did I say wrong now?.

We have enough goddamn tourists.

Naked Germans all over the place.

There`s more of them

than the bloody sheep.

Hairy old German hags

in every hotspring.

We can just as well

skin them, can`t we?.

Skin the hide of their backs!

You guys are lacking...

What do you call it?.

Entre..preneur..thing!

Entrepreneurship!

That`s what I said!

I may not have a diploma

to wipe up my ass

but l`ve sure got...

the entrepreneur...sh*t working.

Please give me some

of that entrepreneurshit!

Start by taking a sea bath.

Learn to swim,

to get rid of that lifesaver.

Don`t get him all worked up.

It`s freezing!

Just wait for the tide.

- Guys...

- What?.

- I can`t find...

- What?.

I can`t find...

my willy.

It`s gone!

Free Willy!

- Hi, darling.

- Hi.

- Still awake?.

- Just blogging.

- I just wanted to say good night.

- Good night.

- Is something wrong?.

- No, just...

- Just what?.

- Nothing.

- All right, good night then.

- Dad?.

Yes.

It`s just Jon...

He`s been acting strange lately.

What if he...doesn`t love me?.

My dear little girl.

Don`t get mad, but...

it`s been such a short time since Anna.

And he`s so much older than you.

Why is it impossible

to talk to you all?.

He`s having a hard time

and he needs me.

But you don`t need him.

I`ve made up my mind.

I`m marrying him.

I`ve known it

since I first met him.

Well, darling, of course

you have to follow your heart.

- Yes, of course.

- Right.

What was I thinking?.

- The terns are quiet tonight.

- Yes... Thank you.

- Are all the drawings yours?.

- Yes.

Well, they`re really...

really...something.

Are you going to pay or not?.

- Not now, later.

- We want our money now.

No money, money tomorrow,

plenty of money tomorrow.

Wait a moment.

- Bloody hell!

- Bloody hell yourself!

- Help me out here?.

- What do you want me to say?.

Just something.

You`re a professor.

Isn`t that what you

do for a living?.

Hey, Polish guys, talk to my friend.

He is the boss.

Careful, it`s brand new!

- Are you paying us, Mr. Big Boss?.

- lt`s a little bit...

- Hi! Is everything all right?.

- One moment.

Yeah, fine!

- Hi...

- Thora.

- Yes, Thora...

- Don`t you remember me?.

- Yeah sure...from...

- From your class.

- What are you doing here?.

- Coming to your rescue.

Just kidding.

- We`ve got everything.

- OK. Dad`s picking us up.

- Are you in a band?.

- Not really, l`m a groupie.

They`re playing

at the guesthouse tonight.

- You should come, they`re really good.

- Yeah.

Darling!

Do you know each other?.

He was my teacher

at the University.

This lad is the best thing

that has landed on this island.

Lad! How cute.

He`s opening a golf course.

And he has promised us

a lot of golfers this summer.

- A golf course?. No kidding!

- Actually, it`s not a joke.

- Jon, help me out here.

- We want money now or we go.

Guys, please, one more day.

I will pay you tomorrow.

Come on!

Thanks a million, Jon.

You didn`t say a word!

Is this the guided tour of Flatey?.

Yes.

Welcome to Flatey!

Almost the northest island

people are living on...in.

And here, as you can see,

we have the fish freezing plant

where 200 people were working,

when it was working!

And here on our right

we have Mr. Mill-Jon.

I just had a great idea.

A new piece, out of seaweed.

It comes from the sea, you know,

the uterus of the world.

Where all life comes from.

Mother, Mare, the sea, Maria.

Like my old pieces

but three dimensional.

I`ll hang up a net

and let it hang, like an octopus,

or veins, new life.

Or a new planet...

Is that really necessary?.

What?.

Never mind.

- Evening, Jon.

- Hi.

- Is Anna not coming?.

- No, she wasn`t feeling well.

- She`s out of this world.

- Who?. What do you mean?.

- Hildur, the girl on the saw.

- Right.

So you`ve stopped teaching?.

I took a leave.

Because of your wife?.

Yes...

You could say that.

Why did you move to Flatey?.

My wife is from here.

We came to try something new.

A wonderful, lcelandic folksong...
