Middle-aged bachelor Jon lives alone with his mother on a farm so remote it’s easiest to reach by boat. When Mamma dies, Jon feels obliged to honour her last wish to buried in her home town – a long and difficult drive across the whole of Iceland. Mamma might be dead, but that doesn’t stop her spending the journey criticising Jon’s life choices from the back seat.
