About Life in a Fishbowl
Three tales of three people who have a lasting effect on one another. A young writer whose career is skyrocketing finds himself in a stormy marriage. He divorces his wife after the death of their daughter, shuts himself from the outside world and drinks himself to death over a twenty-year period.
Directed by Baldvin Z, Life in a Fishbowl leans on a strong ensemble — Hera Hilmar, Þorsteinn Bachmann, Thorvaldur Kristjansson — 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 2014.
