About The Happy End
A middle aged worker does all he can to provide his wife and daughter with good living conditions. They are ungrateful and do not return his affections. When he has an accident at work and goes home in the afternoon, he finds the time to think about how to solve the communication problems in his family. This takes however an unforeseen route.
Directed by Júlíus Kemp, The Happy End leans on a strong ensemble — Þórhallur Sigurðsson, Pálína Jónsdóttir, Lilja Þórisdóttir — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1998.
