Cert:18 Year: 2014 Length:129mins
Country:Iceland Language:Icelandic
It is easily forgotten that Iceland was something of an economic powerhouse in the last decade. Life in a Fishbowl is the tale of 3 individuals, each with a hidden life, whose stories intertwine in the run-up to the financial crash of 2008.

Eik, a young mother and nursery teacher cannot make ends meet and starts to moonlight; she meets Mori, a poet and novelist and apparent down and out; whose property is coveted by Solvi a banker with eyes towards redevelopment.

A huge hit in its native Iceland 'Fishbowl' is now set to enthral a much wider audience on the Festival circuit.
