Under The Tree

Atli’s wife throws him out, so he moves to his parents engaged in a neighbourly feud. The escalating conflict has been sparked by Baldvin and Inga’s tree casting a shadow on a fair share of Eybjorg and Konrad’s garden. Civilised citizens go feral and won’t refrain from a hit below the belt. The next thing they know car tires are punctured, and pets vanish under mysterious circumstances. Word has it that someone saw a neighbour with a chainsaw. An innocent little quarrel comes to both absurd and shocking end.
