From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Íslenski draumurinn (English: The Icelandic Dream) is a film about the average Icelander and his dream to maintain wealth and fame. Þórhallur Sverrisson stars as "Tóti", a 29-year old grade school graduate who tries to earn his living by importing Bulgarian cigarettes to Iceland. His 18-year old girlfriend "Dagmar", played by Hafdís Huld, is trying to put up with him and his hobbies and soccer, while in high school (Menntaskóli). His best friend "Valli", a house painter and a longtime friend of Tóti speaks his mind a lot throughout the movie, such as his thoughts on women and his patriotic ideas on Iceland, played by Jón Gnarr.

The movie was filmed in Reykjavík, Iceland and is one of the best movies in Iceland. It was also rated one of the three best movies in 2000. The director, Robert Ingi Douglas, created a movie that was widely admired for its portrayal of joy, sadness and laughter in a film about the common Icelandic man and his life.
