Virgin Mountain captures a critical point in the life of Fúsi, a 43-year-old painfully shy man, as he attempts to break out of his socially awkward (and sexually inhibited) shell. Still living with his mother and working a mindless job handling baggage at the airport, Fúsi (the amazing Gunnar Jónsson, Rams, MVFF 2015) prefers to keep to himself. With good intentions, his mother signs him up for line-dancing lessons, where he meets fellow outcast Sjöfn (Ilmur Kristjánsdóttir, Spooks and Spirits, MVFF 2014). As a tender intimacy begins to form, Fúsi starts to blossom, stepping outside of his comfort zone and eager for more.

Director – Dagur Kári
