Woman at War (2018)

In the tranquil humdrum of her fifties, Halla stands as a beacon of independence, her life a tableau of peaceful routine. Yet, beneath this serene facade, she harbors a secret alter ego - "The Woman of the Mountain," a fervent crusader for the environment. Halla wages a solitary war against the local aluminum industry, her actions oscillating from harmless defacements to audacious acts of industrial sabotage. Her relentless battle disrupts the negotiation table between the Icelandic government and the aluminum magnates planning to scar the pristine mountains with their smelter. Just as she gears up to launch her most daring assault yet, a letter arrives, its contents poised to tilt her world. The long-awaited green light to her adoption application reveals a young girl in Ukraine, eagerly waiting for her new mother. As Halla teeters on the brink of trading her cloak of eco-warrior for the warmth of motherhood, she devises one last devastating strike against the aluminum industry. Woman at War masterfully intertwines the threads of environmental activism and personal longing, creating a tapestry of a woman's life caught in the crosswinds of duty and desire. It is an intriguing tale that leaves viewers questioning the price of passion and the power of change.
