Georg Bjarnfreðarson, known as the fictional character from Ragnar Bragason's comedy series Næturvaktin , is released early from prison before serving a full ten-year sentence for manslaughter.

In particular, his childhood and the complicated relationship with his mother is discussed in order to explain the negative development of his personality and his introspective striving for change and self-acceptance.
