In contemporary rural Iceland, a nine-year-old rebel child, Sól, is sent to the farm of a distant relative, to work and mature, according to the tradition of these places. Nature seems endless there and the animals more expressive and profound, but the people are hard and rigid. All but the mysterious laborer Jón, who - like Sól - likes words more than people. But this meeting is overturned by the farmer's daughter, Ásta, who will soon involve the girl in a drama that she can hardly understand. This summer, with fairy-tale tones, will mark for Sól the rite of passage in the murky waters of adulthood, and in the wild nature that dwells in all of us.
