Keshet Int’l embarks on Icelandic Journey

Journey (Vegferd) follows two friends as they try to rekindle their friendship

Israeli distributor Keshet International has picked up Icelandic comedy-drama series Journey to launch at Series Mania next month.

Produced by Glassriver for Channel 2 in Iceland, Journey (Vegferd, 6×30’) follows two middle-aged men who have lost their way as they tackle their most intimate feelings on a road trip through the Westfjords of Iceland.

One has lost his connection with reality in the wake of his success, while the other is at rock bottom after having lost everything he holds dear. Their journey, initially intended as a fun road trip to reignite their friendship, takes an unexpected turn that forces them to confront their own feelings, manhood and pride.

The comedy stars Olafur Darri Ólafsson (Trapped, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga) and Víkingur Kristjáns (Valhalla Murders, Trapped). It is written by Vikingur Kristjansson and was filmed during lockdown by director Baldvin Z (Case, Trapped, Black Sands).
