Storm Birds (2018)

Thirty-two men aboard the side trawler Seagull, with a ship full of redfish are hit by a major storm just as they prepare to turn for home; the sea is cold enough to kill a man, and the trawler quickly ices up in the biting frost and violent tempest. The heavy icing weighs down the already fully-laden craft, which is pummelled by one breaker after another — and here, out on the open sea, there is no exit route. From the fishing grounds around them can be heard distress signals from other ships in the same situation. It is a battle of life and death. A dramatic story about the desperate struggle of a group of Icelandic fishermen against the ruthless forces of nature.
