Ingaló is helping her father on his small fishing boat, but he's and obstinate character and relations between them are tense.
After a dance in the village which ends in a fight between the local people and crew of Matthildur IS 167, a visiting fishing boat, Ingaló and her younger brother leave home.
Ingaló stays briefly in Reykjavík and has a short affair with Vilhjálmur, a man in his thirties.
Sveinn has found a job on Matthildur and Ingaló is taken on as a cook. The fishing is poor and when the vessel breaks down it heads for home port, where the crew stays in derelict living quarters for seasonal workers. Ingaló finds out that Matthildur's owner and big wheel in town is none ohter than Vilhjálmur. ...
... Already mocked by the crew for being unable to cope with life at sea, Sveinn suffers absolute humiliation at the living quarters. Ingaló is torn between her protective instincts towards Sveinn and her attraction towards Skúli, the chief engineer on Matthildur. But Skúli himself has plenty of ohter things on his mind, among them the new local beauty queen.
A wild party in the living quarters has dire consequences for Ingaló, Skúli and the rest of the workers. Shortly afterwards Matthildur sets off on its final fateful voyage.
