Their mother is killed for being a witch, so the sisters flee to a bleak farmstead composed entirely of scree. Bryndis Petra Bragadóttir. casts a spell on farmer Valdimar Örn Flygenring to make him fall in love with her, while Björk holds conversations with their mother to bring in her fans.

I don't know how they eat on a farm without anything but stone on the place, but there are sheepskins everywhere, this being Iceland and all. This movie version of a tale from the Brothers Grimm is told with an underacted air, but the black-and-white camerawork of Randolph Sellars is bleak and beautiful.
