When the warlord Vali attacks his lands the leader of a tribe must fight him in single combat, but his son may have different ideas.
A ground-breaking film set in Viking Age Britain and with dialogue entirely in Old Norse. 'Hólmganga' takes us back to a time when preserving honour was more important than preserving one’s life. An ageing chieftain of a small village faces certain death in a duel against a marauding warlord, something which the chieftain's son finds difficult to stomach.
