Storia
101 Reykjavík follows Hlynur, a thirty-year-old man living with his mother in Reykjavik, Iceland. He leads an aimless life, spending his days drinking, watching porn, and surfing the internet while unemployed. Despite a girl's interest in him, he avoids commitment. During Christmas, Lola, a Spanish flamenco teacher, moves in with them. On New Year's Eve, Hlynur discovers Lola is a lesbian but they have sex anyway. Later, he learns that his mother and Lola are also involved romantically, leading him to confront his role in their shared living situation and the need to live less selfishly.
