Logline: In a picturesque house in the peaceful municipality of Asker, Norway, an Icelander and his family prepare to move back to the home country. Suddenly the move comes to an unforeseen halt as the good-natured and fun-loving family dog Rjómi (Cream) is banned from entering the country for what seems to be a misunderstanding. Determined not to leave their companion behind, the family is stranded and Rjómi‘s owner, Hilmar, embarks on a fight with the authorities. Challenging the verdict reveals unexpected hurdles and an uphill battle begins.
After each film there will be a minute-long break, during which we invite the audience to complete scorecards. The cards go towards the scoring of the films and are sent directly to the filmmakers to provide insight into the audience's response.
