    • Synopsis
    • Every morning Krilli prepares the lobster soup from Bryggjan café, a tiny place in Iceland's most anodyne village. His wife helps out in the kitchen and longs to get back to Reykjavik. In the café, Krilli's brother, Alli, sits with the old fishermen, Iceland's last boxer and the translator of Don Quixote into Icelandic. Every day they discuss and find a new solution to the world's problems.
      Once a month the inhabitants meet at the Bryggjan café to remember the dead people and pronounce their names. Four crazy musicians play jazz. Some lost
      tourists drop by the fishing port and get caught up in the atmosphere of the café.
      On the other side of the mountain is the Blue Lagoon, the great attraction of the island. People from all over the planet come to see the volcanoes, the ice and the genesis of the Earth. But now the mountain, the tourists and the lava field seem to be pushing the whole village into the sea. The café stands on the dock, clinging to the ground, giving shelter to its inhabitants over the last 1,600 square meters of buildable space in the port.
      Some investors have arrived with an offer to build a hotel. Others want to turn Bryggjan Cafe into a themed restaurant. Krilli's wife will be able to return to the city, but the land will no longer be virgin, the stories will sink
      into the sea, the last lobster soup will be served in the Bryggjan café and everyone will be orphaned.
