Hera Hilmar (Vanessa Moschella)

(SI,LEONARDO AL MOMENTO NON MI FA IMPAZZIRE,MA VABBÉ DETTAGLI,È SOLO IL PROTAGONISTA ED È SOLO UNA DELLE PERSONALITÀ PIÙ IMPORTANTI IN ASSOLUTO XD)

k (Hera Hilmar) is a single mother, just trying to make ends meet. Móri (Þorsteinn Bachmann) is a famous author and poet who has turned to drinking. Sölvi (Thor Kristjansson) is a former football star who is now trying to climb the corporate ladder. They’ve each made mistakes in their lives and they’re all on a collision course with each other. Their experiences together will change them forever, even offering them a second chance to make things right.

Director Baldvin Zophoníasson builds an absolutely incredible film with Life in a Fishbowl. Viewers are thrust into the lives of Eik, Móri, and Sölvi, without any explanation of what has come before. Slowly over the course of the film we begin to learn about the tragedy and mistakes that formed each character while we also watch as their lives become intertwined.
