Give Us This Day
Islands Thusund år
A drama documentary about Icelandic fishing in past centuries. The film describes a day in the life and work of fishermen in æan open rowing-boat, before the dawn of the age of mechanization. This one winter’s day encapsulates a thousand years’ fishing and seamanship in Iceland. We gain insight into an inner and outer superstition and even magic are interwoven. Here we are face to face with the very foundation of a fishing-nation’s culture.
