In a remote town in Iceland, Police desperately try to solve a crime as a powerful storm descends upon the town.

Story of a Murder targets sexism, as well as the emerging Icelandic middle class, its consumerist proclivities and this families, perversity. Daughter Anna is in her early twenties, and at loose ends. She works an office job that bores her, and is in a romance with a pompous pseudo-intellectual. Anna's father, Robert, is a brutal tyrant who terrorizes his poor, put-upon wife Margret. On the surface, Robert is appalling enough, but underneath he's far, far worse.
