A guy called Árni got the idea of gathering a few bands together in his backyard to do some live recording. He filled his little shack with equipment and prayed for good weather. Then he invited all of his neighbours, made them pizza, cupcakes and pancakes and treated them with some of the most exciting Icelandic musicians of their generation. While he was at it, another guy called Árni filmed the whole thing and the result is this beautiful documentary that provides a unique look at the culture and diverse music scene of modern day Reykjavík, Iceland.

Excellent but underrated film
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
