Heavy snow begins to fall, winds pick up steam. A mutilated and gorged body is discovered by the shore. It’s a man, unidentifiable, a torso floating among the ice.

But it’s not all roses. Firstly, there’s his cranky mother-in-law- to-be who violently opposes the marriage and who demands repayment of Jon’s loan before the wedding night. Secondly, his plans to build a golf course on the little island of Flatey where they live aren’t going at all to plan. Thirdly his extremely drunk best man is on the loose without any shoes and lastly, the continual presence of his emotional first wife is haunting his every move... When the guests start flocking to the island, Jon starts getting cold feet... After a very long night of drinking and thinking, will Jon be able to make it to the church on time? DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT It’s been ten years since I first started thinking about adapting Chekhov’s Ivanov into a feature film. When I first read it, I immediately sensed that Iceland would somehow be the perfect place to set such a film. Ivanov tells the story of a man in a small, rural community, waiting for official grants to save his farm.
