The Outlaw and His Wife
A romantic drama about two lovers driven to outlawry by circumstance and social injustice, told with the measured pacing and emotional restraint of silent cinema.
A stranger comes to work at widow Halla's farm. Halla and the stranger fall in love, but when he is revealed as Eyvind, an escaped thief forced into crime by his family's starvation, they flee and become two of the many outlaws of Iceland's mountains.
