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 lceland, counter-cIockwise and "against the current." This achievement has been said to be comparabIe to cIimbing the mountain K2. Veiga’s personal journey is no Iess remarkable. She was born 44 years ago as a boy in a fishing viIIage on the far west coast of lceIand. Veigar had a wife and famiIy but decided that she couId no longer 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 difficuIt if not more so than the solo kayak expedition she undertakes. These two stories of conflict and struggle are intertwined as the fiIm follows her amazing 103 day journey around IceIand, with the magicaI, rugged coastline of the country a backdrop to the story of Veiga’s transition.
