There will be more of these over the next few months as winter arrives.
This is also the name of a movie which can be seen on the BFI player - my son has a subscription for his degree course studies.
The film opens with an anonymous proverb that suggests the permeability of fog allows the dead to communicate with the living. Ingvar Sigurðsson gives a tightly controlled performance as Ingimundur, a proud man wading through and occasionally blinded by the fog of grief. Scenes that pair him with eight-year-old granddaughter Salka (Ída Mekkín Hlynsdóttir, a near-perfect foil), such as the over-enthusiastic telling of a grisly bedtime story, draw out the twin forces of anger and love roiling beneath his hard exterior.
