Harmsaga / TRAGEDY

Synopsis:
In this modern love story, a young couple desperately tries to save their marriage, exposing betrayed promises and broken dreams in the process. Harmsaga is a new, contemporary love story about everything that went right and, perhaps more importantly, everything that went wrong. Ragnar and Sigrun, a young married couple with two small children, desperately try to save a relationship that is about to destroy them. She's a student, lonely and depressed at times, seeking friendship through the Internet. He's jealous and possessive, spying on her actions online. As recollections of their lives become a part of the quarrel, their love, heartache, broken promises, and shattered dreams are exposed in the process. Tensions mount to a shocking final scene, leaving no winner or loser in the devastating game they must play.
