Under the Tree

Against the backdrop of an ugly break-up, guilty-as-sin Atli swallows up his pride and moves back in with his retired parents, Inga and Baldvin.

And, as Inga stubbornly refuses to trim the tree, more and more, their once-happy suburban life begins to spiral out of control. But, hate is a disease, and violence begets violence. Whatever happened to that old saying, "Love thy neighbour"?
