Haila is leading a double life. To her friends and neighbours she is simply the pleasant-natured director of the local choir, delighting in the folk songs of her native Iceland. In her other guise she is the hunted ‘mountain woman’ who is fighting a crusade against the local aluminium plant by ingeniously sabotaging its electricity supply. When her personal life becomes unexpectedly complicated, can she combine saving the planet with her new circumstances? This is a charming and captivating film, with touches of the almost surreal which only the medium of film is truly capable of expressing.
