LUDO is a psychologial drama takig place during a day and a night in the life of a young family living in a beautiful house by the sea in the village of Sandur in the Faroe Islands. At a first glance it seems like an ordinary, happy family - mum and dad and their 11-year-old daughter - but soon we realize that something dark and sinister lies lurking behind the facade waiting to explode.

A road movie from the Faroe Islands
This Faroese road movie is a colourful provocation and confrontation with the past. The two friends, Rannvá and Barba, return to their home islands after years abroad - and the meeting with the island home of their childhood does not pass quietly. The girls arouse both curiosity and outrage with their bizarre city appearance and emancipated behaviour.
But the girls are on a more important mission. Both girls live with old secrets, especially concerning their families, and now they want everything out in the open. They get at lift with one of the locals, Rúni, who - as it turns out - also carries a dark secret. The trio goes on a journey not just through the beautiful landscape of the Faroes but into of the land of the past.
Starring: Hildigunn Eyðfinsdóttir, Sigri Gaïni, Jóhan Dalsgaard, Elin Karbech Mouritsen, Peter Hesse, Birita Mohr, Høgni Johansen, Rósa á Rógvu, Egi Dam, Nora Bærentsen, Sjúrður Sólstein, Kári Øster and others.

THE MAN WHO WAS ALLOWED TO LEAVE is a sad comedy from the Faroe Islands - but not that sad, though.
An elderly man one day realises that he will leave his wife for the much younger Maria.
His wife reacts stoically. She is neither angry nor unhappy but thinks he should be allowed to sow a few wild oats. She is convinced that he will come to his senses and return to her bosom.
He does - but not quite in the way she had imagined...
