Odd Fish

Dir. Snævar Sölvason | 2025 | Iceland | 104 mins

Odd Fish is a quietly groundbreaking dramedy set in a remote Icelandic fishing village, where the bond between two lifelong friends is tested when one comes out as a trans woman. As the first Icelandic feature to star a trans woman in the lead role, the film explores identity, friendship, and change with warmth, subtlety, and compassion.

Directed by Snævar Sölvason, Odd Fish trades melodrama for quiet emotional depth, capturing the small moments that shape transformation. With naturalistic performances and stunning coastal visuals, it’s a heartfelt reflection on loyalty, growth, and how we hold on to love as life evolves.
