Ferlið Hans Bubba

Bubba, an Icelandic farmer, walks his land each morning—not to check on livestock, but to ensure his elf neighbors remain content. His existence is not merely agriculture but a constant negotiation with an invisible world existing parallel to our own. The 2026 documentary immerses us in a reality where mythology is not folklore but a component of daily life. The filmmaker follows Bubba across fields and hills, documenting his rituals and musings on the nature of belief. The film explores the boundary between legend and personal truth, revealing how ancient tales shape modern identity in a remote corner of Iceland.
