RAMBO 7
Written by Jón Atli Jónasson (Iceland, 2005) and directed by Andrew O’Kane (U.S.). During a raging blizzard, the Icelandic Ministry of Defense calls Johnny – an art student, recently returned from Holland – and informs him that his brother Julius is missing after fighting abroad.
While Johnny is waiting by the phone for news, suddenly Honey – a young, beautiful girl – enters from upstairs after a one-night-stand with Johnny’s father, and Julius’ friend Pesi – on the run from two drug dealers – knocks on the door. This is a unique play about drugs, dreams, and escapism – and three young people in a complex world, trying to settle in.
