Set in the small fishing village of Siglufjörður in North Iceland, Ófærð follows the investigation of the murder of an unknown man who is found in the water. Soon after, a blizzard hits the town, making the only road in or out impassable and trapping the residents – and the murderer – in the village.
Siglufjörður was the ideal location for shooting as access to the remote village is rather unreliable during winter.
“The road to and from Siglufjörður became impassable a number of times during shooting. So we’ve experienced first-hand the feeling of being trapped,” actress Ilmur Kristjánsdóttir told the National Broadcasting Service, RÚV.
