Ísafjörður, early summer 1925: the young, handsome and unwilling bishop Jón Hallvarðsson calls a synod there, apparently to prove the church stronger than folk belief, spiritualism and nature. What follows is seven chaotic days, told as a carnival of a town in an age of upheaval, playing freely with history.
