Iceland: Lost In The Desert (2023)

Film's duration: 1 h 25 min

Thirteen years ago, they didn't yet know what it meant to travel by bicycles in a harsh country. What it meant to face winds capable of knocking one off their feet. What it meant to cross cold glacier rivers. For Algirdas, Iceland was the beginning of his journeys, which later took him to Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, India, Namibia, and countless other countries.

After 13 years of wandering, he returns to Iceland with the aim of confirming whether what once seemed most impressive, beautiful, and perfect is still the same country. This time, not on a bicycle, but with the same uncertainty in his heart – has Iceland, amidst all the changes in the world, remained the fairytale land? Or has it transformed into an unrecognizable, tourist-laden place?

In this documentary adventure film, he, along with Dagne, who sees Iceland for the first time, traverse the island's deserts, searching for those untouched gems of beauty, occasionally finding themselves instead.
