All Eyes on Me (Allra augu á mér)

The void inside of me,

grows.

No matter what I do,

it just keeps growing and intensifying.

I have been surrounded by darkness for quite a long time now.

Inside me, there are forces at play that I can't control...

Guilt,

Relief,

and excitement.

I have tried to ignore it and, by doing so...

I've been trying to avoid what now seems to be unavoidable.

Now I fear I can't run away from it anymore.

You want candy?

Ok, come on.

This land exists at the edge of the inhabitable world.

You don't survive out here without having some kind of faith.

We are ashamed of our need for faith.

Therefore, we keep it to ourselves,

and in secret, we whisper the prayers we were taught as children,

to get a piece of mind for a while.

Without faith, we would all go mad.

I've been left alone. All by myself.

Maybe it was my own choice.

Maybe my destiny...

In the eyes of the people I meet, I see the sad state I'm in.

We are all attracted to fear and sorrow.

And we hurt each other.

Even though it's not what we want.

Lately, I've been praying for an answer to the fundamental

questions about life and existence.

But as always,

there is no answer,

just silence.

I kept isolating myself more and more,

and finally, I started doubting everything.

My purpose as a husband,

father,

A human.

I lost what I loved the most.

And deep inside my heart, I know.

No one can hide from their true self.

Dear god.

Answer me.

I see you've trained him well.

What do you want?

I was expecting you to visit their graves today.

I was there all morning.

You don't have to remind me.

I'll go when I'm ready.

It's been a year since they've passed away today...

I thought you, of all people, would show them some respect and show up.

I know you mean well...

I'm going to ask you not to come unannounced anymore.

You know she came to see me a lot,

especially towards the end.

And she would tell me things.

Yeah...

Then she sent me this.

It's about you.

And what? You read it?

Of course.

She's my sister...

I would do anything to hear her voice again.

Even if it's through a letter.

Are you trying to make me feel guilty for what happened?

Gunnar!

What she's saying in the letter

know that I've made a copy just in case.

In case...

In case of what?

It's not my business to tell you what to do.

It's my responsibility to ensure that my sister receives the respect she deserves.

Don't you think you owe it to her after everything you've put them through?

Listen to me...

Your sister was ill.

And don't you think that by coming here and

preaching your moral thoughts and talking down to me

you are doing their memory any good...

My wife.

My son.

I should know best how to deal with their loss.

I will never be able to accept that I lost them

but on the other hand, I'm absolutely happy never to see you again.

Now get the fuck away.

She hated you...

She really did.

She despised you.

The only reason why she didn't leave you was because of him.

I always knew you were the wrong guy for her,

but no... she fell head over heels for you...

You know what... Goodbye Gunnar.

I truly hope you find peace.

For your own sake.

My dear son,

There's not a day that goes by where I don't see your face.

You were innocent.

The way you looked at me...

You filled me with some kind of

purpose,

and confidence.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to experience it again.

The way you laughed...

The way you smiled when I played the guitar...

That sounds you made were the only music I needed.

Now silence is all I hear...

It's okay …

Be good while I'm gone.

Where I come from, nothing is as it seems.

I might be young, and it's hard to understand me.

But I've lived enough to know my effect on others.

People were cruel to me, so...

Why shouldn't I hit back?

Life already pushed me to my limits...

Like it wants to teach me a lesson.

I've always believed that life can be a tricky adversary.

That's why you need to learn to control it and master the game.

It's a game.

Nothing more.

Knowing you can be on top of it is liberating.

I always believed that your age represents a 'level, '

a state in your life... like a video game.

I'm now at level 21, but the more I play, the easier I can beat it.

I've been in Iceland for a few days now...

I have to make a decision that will change my life.

I don't know if it will be for the better or worse.

I didn't want anyone with me to influence me. I have to do this alone.

Sooner or later, life creates crossroads, choices that you have to choose from.

It can free you or chain you even more.

One way or the other,

you have to make a choice and deal with the consequences...

"HOSPITAL"

Why the hell are you calling me?

I already told you everything.

No.

What?

Who told you where I am?

No, it's my business. Do you understand?

I won't come and meet you...

No.

Don't come.

You're messed up.

Do you hear me? You're messed up.

What?

- Do you need a ride? - Yeah.

Where are you heading?

I'll go wherever you're going.

Sure. Come in.

You should be careful.

A young girl like you,

hiking all alone.

Just so you know, there's like nothing

in this direction for

at least one hour or so.

Okay, it's fine.

You can drop me at the next gas station

or something, I'll walk from there.

Okay.

What's the occasion?

Today, it's a year since my

sister and nephew passed away.

I'm sorry.

I'm actually on my way

to pay my respect to them.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah, of course.

Do you have kids?

What do you ask?

Let me show you something.

Imagine each card represents a part of your life.

A card is a memory, a story, or an emotion.

How can you use your own life experience

to manipulate others without revealing your true self?

Believe me or not... That's where the real skill is needed.

- Bye. - Bye.

Oh, by the way, this is Reykjavik,

and this is the last spot

before you cross the mountain

to reach the south coast.

Please don't walk, take a lift.

It can be very dangerous, the weather.

And this is actually the

best spot to get a lift.

Okay, be careful.

- I will, thanks, bye. - Bye.

The thing is...

If you play your cards right, they can protect you.

Put you in a position of control.

I've gotten pretty good at analyzing the people around me.

Especially the ones who could hurt me.

And when the timing's right,

that's when the game begins.

Excuse me.

What do you think you're doing?

I got it all on camera you know.

I didn't do anything...

Did you take money from the register?

Don't touch me. Do you hear me?

She's got a knife.

Call the police.
