None was more important than ever in this nation, surviving
in a land of ice and fire, and at each condition.
Strong and tough in the face of all adversity.
For a thousand years friend and savior of humanity.
Every day, in joy and in suffering,
the life of the sheep is intertwined with his pastor, his hard work, his perseverance.
If our sheep is happy, the sun warms and blesses all.
If our sheep is unhappy, dark is the night and treacherous.
It's time to hand over the prizes to the three best rams.
It will be our veterinary Katrín to do so.
The third prize goes to Finnur Gudjonsson and mutton Heysi.
Heysi is the son of Kveikur and Goa from Svínafell.
He got 84 points.
In second place, Gudmundur Bodvarsson and mutton Garpur.
Garpur is the famous breed of Bolstadir, son of Godi and Birta.
He got 86 points.
I want to clarify, Perd, that between the two best rams
I waste it is minimal.
The victory was won by the thickness
back muscle.
The two sheep belong to the same race.
And the winner of this year
Kristinn is Bodvarsson, with mutton Sproti.
Sproti is the son of Loki and Sturla from Bolstad.
It got 86.5 points.
- Congratulations, my dear Kiddi. - Yes, thank you very much.
Congratulations, dear Gummi.
Excellent result. Bravo.
A toast to the brothers of Bolstadir!
No thanks.
It had it almost done, Gummi, for a muscle.
Next year it's your turn.
Good luck to all.
Come here, my beautiful.
Let me see this back muscle.
What do you have? Something wrong?
Come come.
Good, does good boy.
Calm, Garpur.
You were really good, my dear Sproti.
There they are, boy, there you are. Let me see.
Good morning.
- Good morning Gudmundur. - Hello Gummi.
Good morning dear Hildur.
- It's all OK? - Yeah, all quiet.
- Can I have a word? - Yes sure.
Hildur, I go out and talk to Gummi.
Something wrong?
I fear that the sheep of Kiddi have a bad disease.
Say? And what could it be?
I think it might be scrapie.
The, "scrapie" you say? Come on, jokes? No, it's not possible.
- The ram who won the race. - Yup.
Yesterday, I wanted to examine it.
It seems to have all the symptoms.
Gummi dear, do not you think Katrín would know,
if the winning ram had scrapie?
You want to talk to Kiddi?
I'll get someone to look at the ram?
Yes, this feels?
You two do not speak for forty years.
I do not think that you will begin now.
If it was scrapie, the sheep of our two flocks
They should be torn down?
I do not believe that either scrapie.
There has never been a case of scrapie.
I do not see how it could get this far.
It is not that you resent because you lost the race?
Southwest wind between 3 and 10 knots, light precipitation,
temperatures from 5 to 9 degrees.
Wind southeast, 3 to 10 knots and precipitation from weak to moderate.
East wind between 8 and 15 knots tomorrow afternoon, temperatures 5 to 10 degrees.
Wind south 10 to 20 knots, stronger mountains.
Precipitation weak.
Forecast for the next days.
Windy Saturday with winds 8 to 13 knots from the east.
Rain in the south and east. Calmer north and northwest.
Scarce rainfall.
Temperatures between 1 degree on the northwest and 8 degrees on the south coast.
Take that, asshole!
You'll pay for, you bastard! Damn murderess of rams!
He has no scrapie!
You made this bullshit,
just because you are not able to lose!
Gummi?
Gummi, can you hear me?
What happened?
Yesterday there was an exercise of shooting.
I hear they are looking into the ram of Kiddi.
You may have scrapie?
You should ask him.
I just spoke. He told me it's your idea.
Oh yes? He said so!
I am certainly not an expert scrapie, Grímur.
But yesterday, examining it, is the first thing that came to my mind.
Holy shit, you guys!
If we scrapie in the valley, we're screwed.
Yes, but you do not have to worry about Europe
if scrapie came here.
Have it served this winter.
Half of the lambs comes from the beast.
INVOICE - TWO GLASSES: 16,500
Per Debbie.
What about, my friend?
What do you take me?
Hi Gudmundur. I do not bring good news.
The sheep of your brother have contracted scrapie.
We are checking nearby farms.
We can look into your fold?
Yup.
A case of scrapie in a Bolstadir farm.
It is the first time that scrapie was found in the valley.
According Katrín Nielsen, veterinary district,
an adult ram contracted scrapie.
Tests are performed to determine whether it is present in nearby farms.
There was no decision about the killing of sheep.
It is believed that scrapie has been brought to the island
by a British mutton in the late nineteenth century,
and it has not yet been completely eradicated.
The disease affects the brain and spinal cord of sheep,
and it is incurable.
Dear friends,
examination results have arrived.
Scrapie has been found in two other farms,
Haugur and Seljatunga.
It was, accordingly, the decision
to break down all the sheep in the valley.
It is a final decision?
They say there has been much contact between the sheep,
and if we want to eradicate the disease,
all you need to tear them down.
So why not cut down too? So finish the job!
We must have confidence in the veterinary.
Those do not understand a tube.
Graduates idiots of the capital.
What do you advise, Debbie?
We put an end to this bullshit.
And how do we do?
We must refuse to tear them down.
What kind of life can we have without the sheep?
- Have you thought? - It's only for two years.
And then?
Will import sheep full of hormones from the Western Fjords?
I agree with Kiddi, we can not just say "yes" and "amen"
these vets.
They're not saints.
Katrín says we have to address the situation in the right way.
The way I see it, we must decide if we want to tear them down now
to avoid the risk that scrapie come back in the coming years.
You do what you want, Finnur, but I do not want anything to do.
It is very important now that we stay united.
It is a big trauma for all,
it is natural that someone feels a great sorrow.
But the decision has been taken
and it will certainly not be changed.
ZONE LIMIT - EPIDEMIC SHEEP DANGER OF INFECTION
Yes, Gudmundur.
Yes, hello Katrin.
Yup.
Sure.
Yes, it's true.
I know, that's life.
No, I want to bury them here.
No, I have grown here, and I want them rest here.
Yes, I am absolutely sure.
Yes, goodbye.
My dear child! My baby!
Treasure...
Let me, you bastards! Let alone my sheep!
Why did you want to do it, Gummi?
The kill me, my sheep.
- They're all? - Yup.
147 sheep.
All right. Clean everything.
You must obey the regulations, Gummi.
You should not have you killing them.
If we really want to eradicate the disease, you have to obey the regulations.
We pay for each demolished sheep,
and also you will enjoy the "Compensation for loss of product".
In relation to the average production in the last three years.
The remuneration shall be distributed over a period of two years.
Later, you can apply for the purchase of new sheep.
Veterinarians will assist in the farm disinfection.
Any questions?
No. Non credo.
Did you think of something for the future?
Do you want to continue with the farm or ...
- Where I have to sign? - Yes, sorry, back there.
- Apologizes. - Thank you.
Listen to me.
Can you help me contact Kristinn?
She lives next door.
Yes I know. But he does not want to talk to us.
Could you tell us about you?
You are brothers, right?
Kiddi and I do not speak there.
You have to clean everything.
Manure, hay, all the deep floor.
- Even all the wood. - And the fences, right?
Yes, even those. All the wood.
Also this pitchfork. All items used here.
Instruments, tools, everything. You have to destroy everything.
The best way is to burn.
You also need to clean the barn and destroy all the hay.
It is forbidden to sell it.
The Scrapie can be transmitted by mites.
- So I have to destroy all the hay? - Yup.
So, my dear Gummi?
What about now?
You know what you've done?
You have exterminated the race of Bolstadir.
How do you think will pass, this winter?
sheep nothing, nothing, just the two of us.
It was not what you wanted?
It was not exactly what you wanted?
Here are my girls.
Here they are.
There they are, Garpur. Here's the real big boy.
Good boy.
Eat a little.
Go away.
Go away, you bastard!
- Good morning. - Hello.
- Where did you get it? - From Bogi in Reykjavík Valley.
It still has, if you will.
Do not you have a little coffee?
You know that I have it, not the coffee.
Something stronger?
Grímur sorry, I have nothing to offer.
- You clean everything? - Yup.
A beautiful pain in the ass.
- Debbie began? - No.
Well, Garpur.
Now is your big moment.
So, bravo.
It is the right spirit.
This yes, that's class.
Yup.
Bravo! There you can do!
Help!
Please, you must help me ... I think he's dying.
Help me!
The sleeves.
So.
- He can do it? - I can do it.
- Even the sweater? - Yup.
That's it.
It was close to, driving, did not see him.
He was lying in a ditch, over there.
- You from around here? - Yup.
It has happened before?
Yes, but a long time ago.
He would die of cold if I had not found.
Thank you.
- You live together? - No, he lives here next door.
We are brothers.
Have you lived here?
I grew up in the house next door where Kiddi is now.
- It's called Kiddi? - Yup.
As? No women?
No, there are not many around.
- You did not have maids? - No. At least not me.
Kiddi it had some, but all fled.
I work for the Veterinary Service. Disinfection of sheep pens.
- Have you cut down the sheep, here? - Yup.
It was very hard?
Yup.
What was it?
Only ... my cats playing.
- Yes, it has many cats? - Yes enough. So, merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you.
- Give my greetings to his brother. - Do not miss.
Goodbye. Be well.
So, you tell me? Have you finished cleaning?
- Yes, yes.
And you?
No.
We decided to give up.
We were already nearly bankrupt,
so we want to take this opportunity to leave.
- And where will you go? - We have not decided.
We do not see how it is possible to live here for two years without sheep
and in debt.
And then, it is not at all sure that this damned disappear scrapie.
But not to come back, Villi.
The shepherds of the valley Svarfa
They have broken down three times sheep.
We're still thinking.
The children have already left,
and when they cut down the sheep, there is nothing left.
We have to say it like it is.
Strong winds from Greenland.
In the inland areas temperatures can be up to minus 30 degrees.
Some nerve, coming here at this time of year, right?
You could say that.
Yup.
I'm here for the case of your brother.
As you know, he has not shown any willingness to cooperate.
And this begins to worry.
At this point, he is the only one not to have cleaned.
We can not bring new sheep before the sheds are disinfected.
Then there is another.
I was checking the documents.
Kristinn is not the owner of Bolstad,
it's all in your name.
Yup.
Why?
My father did not want that would send forward Kiddi.
I promised my mother before she died
that he could stay on the farm.
Do you know what it means?
You are responsible for your brother.
He lives on your field,
and if he does not follow the rules, then you are, that ...
"It's me" thing?
They might call you to account in court.
The best thing would be that you two solve this between you.
Per Debbie.
Here ...
Gummi!
Gummi, are you, damn?
How you dare you write this crap?
You may know, Gummi?
Who the fuck you think you are?
If you believe to be my master?
You can not order me around and tell me what to do!
- I do what the fuck I want. - Shut up, you piece of shit, asshole!
Are you hungry, my friend? So hungry? On, we enter.
Come on, eat.
Thank you and goodbye.
What the fuck!
Here it is.
I know what you're hiding in the cellar.
Somi, Somi ...
You have here?
Thanks for the loan.
Gummi.
How many are there?
- There is a ram? - To what do you care?
They are the only breed of sheep that remained in Bolstad.
- Of course I care. - Bullshit.
They are my sheep! Do not you dare come near;
Yes, yes. Perfect!
Let me see.
Yes Yes Yes.
It seems that there are two here. Yes, yes.
Let me see. Yes good!
Very good, my dear Garpur.
For now we're done.
You were amazing.
You were perfect.
Can I use the bathroom?
Yes, yes, please.
Fuck.
Thank you.
Come on! Power! Come on! Move!
Kiddi, you must help me. They are arriving.
Let’s bring them inside.
Inside!
- There are no sheep here. - But there were just now!
I can not believe, Gummi!
What do you have in mind?
Where are the sheep?
Gummi.
Where did you put the sheep?
It's incredible. We have to look for them.
Come on, let's get moving.
Perhaps the mountain?
We call a search party?
Yes, maybe it's better.
We have to report them both.
Do not we find them, we need reinforcements.
Here Beggi. I found the sheep.
I'm out here.
Give me a hand.
How much does it weight!
- Now what do we do with the sheep? - We must take them to the mountains.
- In the mountains? - Yes. To Hvannalindir.
Yes, but in the highlands.
If we bring them there, they can survive the winter.
Come on, we have to hurry.
Be quiet!
Over there!
Go! Go!
This wind does not please me at all.
We must move forward.
Curse!
Where are the sheep?
Gummi!
Garpur!
Gummi!
Gummi, can you hear me?
It will be all right, my dear Gummi.
