The Bonus Girl (2011)

“- When I use your till I never run out of money. - We’re getting back together; it’s all thanks to you, Bonus girl. - I’ve never believed in miracles and I don’t know what happens at your till, but it’s as if the credit on my card is limitless. - We were due to lose the flat today but the bank granted us an extension. It’s thanks to you.”

Dilja has a brilliant idea for her final project from the Icelandic Academy of the Arts. She is going to work on a till in the low price supermarket, Bonus, with pink hair in style with their logo and shocking pink lips. When rumours start circulating that the Bonus girl performs miracles, Dilja has no qualms about taking her performance a step further. The Academy and her family want her to stop but Haflidi, jack of all trades, stands by her side. The Bonus Girl is a haunting story, straight from disrupted contemporary Iceland.
