Original title:
Arnbjörn - The elderly genealogist
Participated in:
MIDPOINT Midnight Sun 2016
Arnbjörn is a genealogist in his 90’s. He’s eccentric and
has ancient manners, pedantic and hard to be around.
Therefore he has been alone most of his life.
He knows all there is to know about all the families in
iceland since it was colonized. But he himself has no
family, no descendants, and it seems clear that the family
tree will end with him.
Until he digs up and old letter, that was posted 70 years
ago. In the letter it says that he had impregnated a girl at
the foundation of Icelandic democracy.
Arnbjörn decides to head on the road to look for his missing
son.
