She comes from the land of fiords, used to be called the child prodigy of Björk and is one of the most charismatic and enigmatic vocalists of the young generation.

The spectators receive the portrait of an uncompromising artist who changes and matures before their eyes at the same time trying to salvage her independent spirit and child-like sensitivity on the contemporary music market.
