>Epik Fail / Epik Feil (ICE)
Epic Fail is a comedy based on true events that happened in Reykjavik, Iceland not so long ago. It is about a guy that finds himself in extraordinary situations and has to take matters in to his own hands and put his trust in strangers. But when people find themselves in a situation and have to ask strangers for help then interesting things happen and we see that we are not so different after all and we should not judge the book by its cover.

His talent and gentle manner quickly earn him the respect of his superiors, as well as the love of the pastor, Anna, and her little boy, Jens. But his past catches up with him when Agnes, a local teacher, comes to the church on a school visit and recognizes the organist as Jan, the young man who was convicted for the murder of her son.
