Bjorn Hlynur Haraldsson portrays Ottar Thor, a strikingly handsome and self-assured professional soccer player who also supports his family, where dominant men frequently dismiss their wives’ opinions. Ottar is separated from his ex-wife, Gugga (Lilja Nott), once Miss Iceland, now struggling with alcoholism. They share custody of their teenage son, Magnus (Arnmundur Ernst), who escapes into video games. Ottar doesn't consider the consequences when he announces his sexuality to a journalist—in the locker room after a game—simply to get on a magazine cover. This causes immediate uproar among his teammates, conservative team owners, and others. He’s then prohibited from playing and, with little else to occupy himself, joins a friend’s amateur league team, which already includes some gay players. More soon join, attracted by Ottar's notoriety, while straight players leave. The reconstituted team's popularity surges, though their winning record largely comes about because opposing teams refuse to compete against the “queers.” Meanwhile, Ottar’s former team is experiencing a negative publicity campaign due to his dismissal and wants him back—despite still not being ready to embrace his sexual orientation. Events lead to an improbable but satisfying exhibition match between amateurs and professionals, conveniently timed to coincide with Gay Pride Day. A similarly sharp, though not unkind, sense of humor extends to the story’s other storylines. Ottar's parenting isn't particularly good, but he does care, as does Gugga, who is generally hapless. Magnus’s anger stems not from prejudice, but from the fact that no 13-year-old could easily handle a parent coming out in the national media. Ottar's attempts to establish a stable relationship with a teammate fail—because he picks someone even more superficial than himself. Supporting characters—particularly Ottar’s intensely irritating father (Sigurdur Skulason) and brother (co-screenwriter Jon Atli Jonasson)—lack any redeeming qualities, but compensate for their lack of psychological depth with sheer comedic brilliance. The performances are perfectly aligned with the director's understated yet lively style. The production design strikes a balance between realism and polish, and the technical aspects are top quality.
