The Home Game

Heimaleikurinn

An impulsive Icelander wants to fulfil his father’s failed dream: to get their beloved fishing village a home game on the unused football pitch he built. A team of underdogs registers for a prestigious men’s tournament. The team includes a fisherman and his son, a church warden – and a mother of three. But when her inclusion threatens to disqualify them, a sequence of events produces an unlikely female hero.

In celebration of the international premiere of The Home Game, there will be a football match directly after the screening. Come along and cheer on the teams!
