Description

A story for our times as an anonymous Icelandic eco-warrior wages a one-woman war against the local aluminium industry and massive Chinese investment. Known locally as the Mountain Woman, the secretive Hella (an inspirational Halldóra Geirhardsdóttir) runs the gamut of abuse as fake media reports put her on the wrong side of public opinion. Hella's child adoption application is also put at risk, while her yoga-teaching twin sister Asa seeking only inner peace must share Hella's turmoil while remaining blissfully unaware that she is the notorious Mountain Woman. Despite the subject matter, Woman at War also keeps things light a witty film with a delightful black comic touch. (S)
