The Icelandic Shock-Station is a thoroughbred Icelandic comedy, where the Icelander's daily life and habits are elevated to the level of farcical confusion and where all the laws of common sense are reversed in travesty of themselves, while at the same time the opportunity is taken to satirize some of the features the scriptwriter feels are blemish on the otherwise smooth facade of the nation's character. A Swede comes to Iceland in order to be cured of alcoholism, but instead of the AA establishment he was aiming for, he ends up by mistake in a summer chalet run by the housewife Stella. There he is subjected to a treatment which is very different from the one he had been expecting, but, nevertheless, quite effective. (official distributor synopsis)
