It's Christmas time in Iceland. As everyone prepares for the holidays, a special atmosphere hangs over the city, revealing emotions of both excitement and worry. In the middle of the countryside, an abandoned farm is burning. At school, a children's choir is singing Christmas carols. At the slaughterhouse, chickens are paraded along the fence. In a museum, a mother is arguing with her ex-husband on the phone. In the living room, a little girl is letting her grandmother try on her virtual reality headset... Through 56 scenes, the film paints a sharp but tender portrait of modern society.
