Halla is an environmental activist who risks everything she has in order to protect her country’s natural beauty. One by one, she sabotages power lines using a bow and arrow that she always carries with her. Nicknamed “The Woman of the Mountain” by the press, she does everything she can not to be caught. But when she learns that her application to adopt a child has been approved, she needs to revise all her plans. Set against the backdrop of Iceland’s stunning landscape, Woman at War touches upon current global issues with Nordic humor. A gripping tale of heroism that makes you think and smile at the same time.
