Drama. Simon, an ex-con just released from prison in his native America, returns to Iceland to kill himself.

Before he has a chance to do so, he meets Dua, a young Icelandic girl who is a force of nature with amazing powers over animals and people. The two smuggle an Icelandic falcon overseas to Germany, and while Simon intends to sell the falcon to the highest bidder, Dua is intent on taming the valuable and majestic creature.
