BriefExplanation

This film tells the story of one of Iceland's young heroes, who runs far and wide to deliver messages from his town's single telephone. Fuelled by Arla's Skyr yoghurt, no message is too difficult or too distant to deliver for young Orri, whether it concern logistics, love affairs or dry cleaning.

EntrySummary

Icelanders have long been synonymous with greatness. In their long illustrious history they have been sailing the oceans, producing strongmen and creating some of the most bizarre and beautiful pop music the world’s ears have ever heard. All this from a cold, forbidding island spotted with volcanoes. Skyr is no exception. This protein-rich yogurt has been sustaining Icelanders for centuries and embodies a certain kind of ‘Icelandic strength’ we wanted to communicate through Orri’s story.
