In a secluded valley in Iceland, Gummi and Kiddi live side by side, tending to their sheep. Their ancestral sheep-stock is considered one of the country’s best, and the two brothers are repeatedly awarded for their prized rams who carry an ancient lineage. Although they share the land and a way of life, Gummi and Kiddi have not spoken to each other in four decades. When a lethal disease suddenly infects Kiddi’s sheep, the entire valley comes under threat. As the authorities close in, the brothers will need to come together to save the special breed passed down for generations, and themselves, from extinction. Rams is both written and directed by Icelandic filmmaker Grímur Hákonarson, of A Pure Heart and Summerland previously. The film is Iceland's Foreign Language Oscar entry, and first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Cohen Media Group will release Rams starting February 3rd, 2016 early next year.
