Summation: When Anna and her
boyfriend Ingi decide to sell the house, Anna has recently inherited from her
late father Ofeig, the father's ghost appears and makes one thing perfectly
clear: his house won't be sold!
Prospective buyers are chased away by very
strange events, which confirm that Ofeig, the ghost, is no different from what he
was in life: a charming, but
egoistic, alcoholic womanizer. Ingi tries to
exorcise Ofeig, but the poltergeist world proves a tricky one. Instead of
getting rid of Ofeig, another ghost is raised - a jealous former girlfriend of Ofeig.
The dead lovers' bickering makes life in the house intolerable, the ghosts get
ever more forceful, and selling the house is out of the question. But sometimes
even ghosts can get too greedy.
When Ofeig tries to drag an innocent lady
into his
dimension, the situation calls for drastic
measures.
This
movie is in Icelandic with English Subtitles!
