The grounded and romantic Kári loves the simple life he has in a small village on an isolated island, in one of the smallest countries in the world. But times soon take a turn for the worse. The only source of income for the local community is the fish factory where he works, and when it faces closure, the workers and his best friend look for a way out. But unlike most young people on the island, Kári wants to stay. He is at peace with things as they are, and even when everyone is chasing a better future somewhere else, Kári decides to stay and face the challenges head-on. Because for him, his home town is The Last Paradise on Earth.

The Last Paradise on Earth

Ester (16) lives a safe but mundane life, in a small town on an island together with her religious and conservative parents. One day, when she’s in Sunday school, she meets Ragna, a girl who has just moved to the same small town with her alcoholic mother and her 8 year-old brother. In Ragna, Ester sees what she has been looking for her whole life. Unaware that Ragna sees the exact same thing in Ester, and especially Ester’s father. The attraction of opposites makes them best friends. Together they dream about getting away from their boring life on the island, but soon they realize that it’s only their own self that they want to escape from.
