A young boy, about age 7, falls in love with a 21 year-old woman. The problem is that she is engaged, and the boy wants to get rid of the fiancée. He is obsessed with an ancient Viking burial mound. Legend has it that it contains treasure and Viking weapons. The boy decides he needs the weapons to get rid of the fiancée. But if he digs the mound, legend is the ancient spirits will seek revenge. I really didn’t like this movie. It was just boring to me. On the positive side, the Icelandic scenery is beautiful.
