An Icelandic-Polish co-production, The Garden centres on Indiana (Sigrún Edda Björnsdóttir), who lives on a council estate and makes a living by taking advantage of the welfare system. In her small, private garden, she tends to her award-winning tree. When her only son turns up with a foreign girlfriend, Indiana’s world is upended. The feature scooped a huge haul of trophies, including those for Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress in a Leading Role and Best Supporting Actress, among others.

The second main victor, the TV series The Minister, co-produced by Sagafilm and pubcaster RÚV with Sweden’s Yellow Bird/C More-TV4, won the Award for Best Fiction Series. The eight-part show follows populist prime minister Benedikt Ríkarðsson (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) as his mental illness grows and his colleagues try to keep it a secret from the nation. For his performance as the Icelandic statesman, Ólafsson was crowned Best Actor in a Leading Role, whilst Davíð Kristjánsson won the Award for Best Supporting Actor.
