Rams is a 2015 Icelandic drama film written and directed by Grímur Hákonarson. It follows two sheep farmers and estranged brothers, Kiddi and Gummi, in rural Iceland, who must deal with a scrapie outbreak in their flock.

Production

Rams was based on a story told by the director's father about two brothers sharing the same land who had a falling out over a woman and stopped speaking to each other for 40 years. Grímur liked the tragicomic underpinnings of the story, noting that such conflicts can be common in rural Iceland and beyond. "These brothers are not only in sheep farming, they are also in the parliament."

The film was shot on locations in the Bárðardalur valley in north east Iceland between Akureyri and Mývatn.

Sigurður Sigurjónsson and Theodór Júlíusson, two of Iceland's best-known actors, prepared for their roles by working on a sheep farm. Most of the other characters were actual farmers, as was the film's sheep trainer.
