Ikingut

In the middle ages a small Greenlandic boy comes drifting with an Iceberg to a remote and superstitious settlement in Iceland and is believed to be an evil spirit by his looks. He saves a young boy from an avalanche and they become friends. The young Icelandic boy has to fight for his friends existence against the ignorant villagers, who want him imprisoned or even killed

Directed by Gísli Snær Erlingsson, Ikingut leans on a strong ensemble — Orto Ignatiussen, Hjalti Rúnar Jónsson, Hans Tittus Nakinge — 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 family titles of 2000.
