Moonstone: The Boy Who Never Was Sjon
Reykjavik, 1918. Yet despite the natural disaster, the shortage of coal and the Great War still raging in the outside world, life in the small capital goes on as always.Sixteen-year-old Máni Steinn lives for the movies. The eruptions of the Katla volcano darken the sky night and day.
Asleep, he dreams in pictures, the threads of his own life weaving through the tapestry of the films he loves.When the Spanish flu epidemic comes ashore, killing hundreds of townspeople and forcing thousands to their sick beds, the shadows that linger at the edges of existence grow darker and Máni is forced to re-evaluate both the society around him and his role in it.Evoking the moment when Iceland's saga culture met the new narrative form of the cinema and when the isolated island became swept up in global events, this is the story of a misfit transformed by his experiences in a world where life and death, reality and imagination, secrets and revelations jostle for dominance. Awake, he lives on the fringes of society.
