Set in medieval Iceland, The Juniper Tree follows Margit (Björk) and her older sister Katla (Bryndis Petra Bragadottir) as they flee for safety after their mother is burned to death for witchcraft. Finding shelter and protection with Johan (Valdimar Orn Flygenring), and his resentful young son, Jonas (Geirlaug Sunna Thormar), the sisters help form an impromptu family unit that's soon strained by Katla's burgeoning sorcery.
