Kjötborg ( The Corner Shop)
directed by Helga Rakel Rafnsdóttir and Hulda Rós Guðnadóttir
The Corner Shop is a documentary about one of the last remaining grocery stores in Iceland. Run by two eccentric brothers, it is the glue that keeps the community together. Armed with humor and good intentions, the brothers fight a battle against more efficient models of consumption. How far does one go to help one's neighbor and how much can one talk on the topic of potatoes and chewing gum? This is an unusual love story, a funny and intimate film that shows the art of shop keeping in a new light.
