If the world has an edge, then it is certainly visible from Iceland. On the island’s outermost cape, the final frontier before nothingness, beyond which lies the inhospitable Arctic Ocean, stands a desolate farm. As every autumn, Úlfar and his wife are visited by their grandchildren, who help them drive the sheep back from the hills. Yet, a feeling of loss and grief looms in the roaring air, as this is the last autumn of herding, marking the end of a centuries-long tradition. A tale of abandonment and endlessness, where the gaping and misty landscape bears witness to the works of man.
