Arneshreppur is in the north-west part of Iceland. It has been an isolated area for centuries. Real roads were never built and modern means of transport failed to disrupt the rhythm of daily life which had prevailed almost unchanged for hundreds of years. The farmers lived off the land and from the sea: farming, fishing and utilizing driftwood to build their houses. Now they have passed away and the majority of their descendants moved to towns and villages in other parts of Iceland. One after another the farms were left at the mercy of the elements, which in due time would destroy everything man had constructed over the generations. This fate, however, did not befall all the farms. The north still has its power and there are still people who prefer to live in this rugged landscape. Peter Gudmundsson is doing what his forefathers did: collecting driftwood, selling eiderdown and hunting seals. The old whetstone is used by the fifth generation of settlers as Peter's son now helps out with the sealhunt.
