á hreinu (On Top)
Comments: The most
popular Icelandic film to date,

during it first run in the
cinemas. Still one of the best
loved Icelandic films.
Synopsis: Two rock
groups, one male, the other
female, decide to do a combined
effort to hit the road of stardom
by doing a show together. As the
show is getting on the road, the
lead singers of the two groups
have a disagreement which brings
about a parting of ways, in love
as in life. A historic tour of
the country begins, which through
the music and performances of the
two groups as well as the
reactions of their audiences,
reveals, beneath the comedy,
glimpses of today's real
