Either Way is a subtle and playful dramatic comedy, set in the remote north of Iceland in the mid-1980s. Two employees of the Icelandic Road Administration, spend the summer painting lines on the winding roads that stretch out to the horizon. With no-one but each other for company, the barren wilderness becomes a place of adventure, disaster and discovery as both men find themselves at crossroads in their lives.
