A fantasy drama by Sturla Gunnarsson.
A version of the Beowulf story is told. There's something attacking a hall and a foreign man comes to kill it.
This is a very down-played version of the story. The monster is just a strange and large man, possibly a genetic mutation brought on by inbreeding or some other natural cause. He has a grudge against the leader of the people in the hall because they killed his father. The characters and plot are similar to other Beowulf stories. The style is good and the production value worthy. I would call the film contemplative. I'm rating it adequate because it's worth watching at least once for a unique take on this classic tale.
