101 Reykjavik
A young man's sexual impulses go haywire when he discovers that the woman he has just been to bed with happens to be his mother's lesbian lover. Set against the backdrop of Reykjavik's swinging nightlife, this zany black comedy takes a candid look at its anti-hero's compelling, confused and often droll sexual universe. Living on social security in the protected environment of his mother's home, Hlynur has never felt the urge to venture beyond the confines of his microcosmic world. Determined to resist adulthood at all cost, he soon finds out that life is busy making other plans for him.
