Rams

(2015)

This is a story about two brothers who are also sheep farmers, but this time in Iceland. It is a story about history clashing with contemporary times. The brothers are estranged, not talking to each other. Each of them is raising a rare breed of heritage sheep. When the government discovers disease in local flocks, all local herds are ordered destroyed. The brothers, distraught, design secretive ways not to comply with the order, which we know will lead them into danger. Under this mutual threat, they renew their brotherly bond.

They scheme together to outdo the regulations. The film rushes toward a swirling, blinding snowstorm where the sheep and the brothers find a heartopening conclusion.
