About
A choir conductor leads a secret one-woman campaign against Iceland's aluminium industry while an old adoption request is approved.
Halla, a fifty-year-old choir conductor played by Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir, leads a choir in Iceland. Behind that quiet routine she is an eco-activist known as The Woman of the Mountain. She sabotages power lines at a Rio Tinto aluminium plant in the Icelandic highlands so that it loses electricity. The government expands police and propaganda efforts to catch and discredit her.
Meanwhile, an old adoption request is granted for an orphan child from Ukraine. The film follows Halla's attempts to reconcile her illegal activism with the coming adoption. Jóhann Sigurðarson plays Sveinbjörn, and a three-man band and Ukrainian traditional singers interact with the plot and characters.
