Tryggðarpantur

Gísella Dal leads a perfect life: a large flat, the finest beauty salons, good wine and exotic food, and the occasional magazine article written mostly for fun. Then she learns that her grandmother's generous inheritance has run out and that she may have to give up her way of life and earn a living, until she hits on the idea of taking in lodgers. Four women come to share a home in a city full of locals and newcomers, in a tragicomic story that sets different worlds against each other and questions values, outlooks and self-deception.
