Description:
Devil's Island is a poignant look at post-war Iceland in the 1950s. In Reykjavik's impoverished Camp Thule, former US military barracks house struggling families trying to survive. While the adults work hard, the younger generation yearns for American ideals – dollars, rock and roll, and a different life. They often turn to alcohol to cope with hardship, finding reasons to celebrate or escape their troubles. Devil's Island offers a vivid portrayal of a quirky family and their community, exploring the fulfillment and disappointment of their aspirations.
