Eik is a single mother struggling to make ends meet by any means possible. Sölvi is a former athlete who's now trying to climb the corporate ladder. Mori is a once respected author who's now a full-time drunk. Soon fate will make them meet. Life in a fishbowl portrays three intertwined stories that take place in Reykjavik before the devastating economic crisis in 2008. Móri is a poet and a drunkard, battling with his past and searching for forgiveness for the unforgiveable. Eik, who is a young mother and nursery school teacher, moonlights as a hooker in order to support herself and her daughter. She has to struggle to make ends meet because she is utterly estranged from her extremely well-to-do family. Sölvi is a famous former footballer who is making his way up the corporate ladder. Gradually, he becomes entangled in a world of corruption and moral complacency and bit by bit he starts to lead a double life. The film became a box office hit in Iceland and local media even consider it the best Icelandic film of all time. (Cinemax)
