<< a land shaped by women >> is an inspirational depiction of the journey of two snowboarding world champions across Iceland. Anne-Flore Marxer and Aline Bock explore the country in a van through their beloved adventure sports — snowboarding and surfing. As their travel unfolds, playing in the mountains, in the waves or under the spectacular northern lights, they introduce the viewers to the iconic Icelandic women they met along the way. This film is empowering women and bringing a feminine narrative to the outdoor practice; it encourages all of us to be part of creating the world that will make sense and bring gender equality in the front of the debate.

This film is her first creation as a director.
