In Icelandic with French supertitles

Liz and Will take refuge at May and Man’s house. They come over with their two children from a besieged city, and they run out of gas. A war is on. May and Man live near the coast, they strive to maintain their museum despite the restrictions. They have left a few fish, an octopus, and a “thing”, Bella, which could be a siren, or a seal ; an unidentified living object which could also be a ghost. Bella is beautiful and she bleats, Bella is monstrous and cries like a baby. Exposed to her soundtrack, May and Man try to remain neutral, to cultivate their garden, despite the local militias. But the bombardments get nearer, and Will and Liz, or their children, also bring war.
