The County

Ends Thursday, June 24

(Iceland, Denmark, Germany, France / 2019 / Directed by Grímur Hákonarson)

Set in a small Icelandic farming community, The County is a tense and intimate drama about a rabble-rousing woman who dares to upset societal norms.

When personal tragedy befalls Inga, a middle-aged dairy farmer, her future hangs in delicate balance. Instead of standing by and watching it go, she rebels against her powerful local Cooperative. Inga tries to get other farmers to join her in rising up against the Co-op’s curruption but encounters great resistance, forcing her to confront the community’s dependence and loyalty to this single, dominant enterprise. Inga must use her resourcefulness and cunning to break free of the Co-op’s grasp and finally live life on her own terms.
