Gulli is the only survivor of a fishing boat that capsizes during a storm at sea. He swims for hours in the icy water, fighting for his life. In his hometown he is welcomed as a celebrity and a hero with an extraordinary will to live. However, Gulli views things very differently and always remembers the accident as the day his friends died. This film is based on a true story, and was the official Icelandic nomination for the 2013 Oscar Award for Best Foreign Language Film. (Days of European Film)
