Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
An Icelandic musical is a rare cinematic event, and while director Agust Gudmundsson (who also made the first Icelandic feature film in 1980) has put together catchy tunes, good scenery, and attractive actors, there is not that much of a storyline and the ending is not exactly an ending but a lapsus. The basic plot revolves around the break-up of a band and the subsequent competition between the two new bands to get contracts and attention. One of the new bands is all-female, the other all-male. As the rivalry between the bands increases, the women get into a few under-the-table tricks to advance their cause.
