Every morning Krilli prepares the lobster soup from Bryggjan café, a tiny place in Icelands most anodyne village. His wife helps out in the kitchen and longs to get back to Reykjavik. In the café, Krillis brother, Alli, sits with the old fishermen, Icelands last boxer and the translator of Don Quixote into Icelandic. Every day they discuss and find a new solution to the worlds problems.
