Når landet mørknar

Greenland, 1293. After his first walrus hunt, young Arnar meets Eir, a girl who scorns his kill and runs off. Unease grips the Norse settlement: the walrus has withdrawn, trading ships from Norway and Iceland rarely come, and the settlers' own boats are rotting. Arnar dreams of building a ship and sailing for the lands to the west, with Eir in that dream, and will defy his chieftain, his gods and the law to get there.
