A review by Svumpukkel85
Written by Svumpukkel85 on 2017-11-05
Brilliant!

A gripping true story about an Icelandic fisherman's worst nightmare; Sinking of the fishing vessel during a cold, stormy night in 1984.

It is a man's remarkable struggle for survival, by swimming and surviving in icecold water (5 degrees celcius) for 6 hours! It left the whole world in awe, and scientists puzzled.

The man in question is the humble and goodhearted fisherman Guðlaugur Friðþórsson (Gulli) - A most beautiful soul.
In this movie, we are told about this inspiring man, and his incredible life in Iceland.

Absolutely recommendable!
