Hafnarfjörður in a key role in new comedy series

Filming is about to begin on a new bittersweet comedy series starring Laddi. The setting for Laddi's 6-part series, which is being filmed for Sjónvarp Símans, is Hafnarfjörður, and the film crew will be travelling around the town this November.

In these episodes, Laddi plays a character who is faced with death and realises at that point that he has wasted too much of his life on things that are less important than others. He decides to make the most of his final days and resolves, among other things, to hold his own funeral and be present to say goodbye to his loved ones. The idea can be traced to the musings of Jón Gunnar Geirdal, one of the series' six screenwriters, about death and the meaning of life. The other screenwriters are Hekla Elísabet Aðalsteinsdóttir, Sólmundur Hólm, Baldvin Zophoníasson, Ragnar Eyþórsson and Kristófer Dignus, who also directs the series.
