A husband and wife tangle with an investigator over her dead brother's million-dollar insurance policy. Visually, it's so beautiful... and yet stark and haunting (apparently it was filmed in Iceland).

There's something strangely real about the film, from the first-rate acting, to the dark tone, to the deliberate pace...
