Plot
His daughter Lilja as well as the delivery man Jón believe that the farmer Hrafn makes his house ready for winter because he and his wife Gróa should move into an elderly home. No one knows that Gróa has died already and he actually prepares the grave for himself and his wife. When his daughter arrives with her family at Hrafn's house he is already buried alive next to his wife. He used a mechanism of his little truck to pour soil at his wife's coffin and himself lying in a deep hole.
