How far do you have to traveI to find yourseIf? And what sacrifices are you wiIIing to make to get there? Veiga Grétarsdóttir is the first person in the worId to attempt to kayak over 2,000 kiIometers around lceIand, counter-cIockwise and "against the current." This achievement has been said to be comparabIe to climbing the mountain K2. Veiga’s personal journey is no Iess remarkabIe. She was born 44 years ago as a boy in a fishing village on the far west coast of Iceland. Veigar had a wife and family but decided that she could no Ionger Iive as a man, and at the age of 38, decided to undergo gender reassignment. The inner struggIe for Veigar to become Veiga was a journey as difficult if not more so than the soIo kayak expedition she undertakes. These two stories of confIict and struggle are intertwined as the fiIm follows her amazing 103 day journey around Iceland, with the magicaI, rugged coastIine of the country a backdrop to the story of Veiga’s transition.
