Jóna Finnsdóttir

Latin Viking

Icelandic country boy Tómas R. Einarsson got hooked on rhythm in childhood, but couldn't imagine that anything so much fun could be a job. In his twenties passion finally took over and he threw himself head first into learning how to play jazz on the double bass. From there he moved on to the enticing rhythms of Havana. After decades on the road, Tómas returns to his weather-beaten birthplace, with a full Latin band and some hot rhythms of his own.

Cold Light

What could be better than knowing your future? And what could be worse? A love-filled childhood abruptly ends when catastrophe descends. A catastrophe that the child had foreseen yet failed to act upon.

No Trace

Five friends gather for a celebration that spins wildly out of control. Something goes terribly wrong. Next morning, national sports icon, swimmer Gulli Björns wakes up beside the naked body of a woman. No one knows who she is. No one knows where she comes from. Not his girlfriend. Nor his best buddy. No one remembers what happened. Now, as the questions fly fast and furious, Björns must wander through a mirrored maze of half-truth and full-blown lies to discover the shocking truth in a swirl of deception, manipulation and murder.

Tears of Stone

About Icelandic composer Jon Leifs (1899-1968) who spent much of his life in Germany before WWII. The film begins in the 1930s after he has married the daughter of an industrialist, Annie, who is also a concert pianist. This era was frustrating for Leifs because his works were seldom performed.
