Wrestling
Alternative title: Bræðrabylta

Directed by Grímur Hákonarson

Amidst Iceland's rugged landscapes, a clandestine romance brews between two gay wrestlers, concealed from the intense masculinity of Iceland's national sport scene.
Wrestling is a beautifully understated Icelandic gay short film in which physical sport becomes a language for feelings the two men cannot openly express. Grímur Hákonarson uses the rural landscape, silence and the intimacy of glíma wrestling to give the relationship a restrained but deeply felt emotional power.
