SYNOPSIS

Aska oversees the pilgrimage of two young sisters through the landscapes of Iceland in their quest to appease an ill-tempered volcano. Having trapped their mother’s spirit inside a box, they race against Nature’s decay and prepare to feed her to the Snake of Fire before he brings death upon their land.
