DEVIL’S ISLAND is a bitter sweet tale of Iceland in the fifties. Life is rough in Reykjavik’s post-war slum of Camp Thule, where the abandoned US military barracks have been turned into makeshift homes. Struggling wives and their hard-working husbands try to make ends meet.
An old man who lives by himself decides to give up farming and move to the city, where he has a difficcult time settling in and ends up in an old people’s home. There he meets an old flame who dreams of being buried on the farm where she grew up, which has now been deserted for years. One night they flee together in search of adventure.
