FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Virgin Mountain 



The Icelandic Dagur Kari has it with adult men still living with their mother. Fusi (Gunnar Jónsson) is again so one, 43 years old and obese. Fusi only talks about the essentials. He's never had a girlfriend. Fusi's hobby are toy soldiers with whom he recreates historical battles. Basically, he has the soul of a child: Innocent, helpful and nice. Still, he's lonely. Fusi has always been the outsider, the "fat one". In another movie such a character with a preference for heavy metal and war games could also be a dangerous guy. But we must not hesitate to take this human mountain to our hearts. Kari now confronts his hero with a love story. Sjöfn is her name, Fusi puts the hurdles to adulthood in the way. She asks him upstairs for tea, but Fusi replies that he would rather drink milk. It's this unaffectedness that makes Virgin Mountain so humorous. Kagur trusts in his calm comedy tone, in his slightly bizarre characters, who receive our affection with ease. Will Fusi are the sad life that is presented to us in so many different shades of grey and brown? Can he have the love he naturally carries in himself? Will he move out?
