Plot

XL unravels the story of the infamous Leifur Sigurdarson (Ólafur Darri), a relentless party animal, notorious womanizer, and a prominent member of the Icelandic parliament. Living life on the edge, Leifur grapples with his alcohol addiction, an issue that finally forces the hand of his close friend and commanding officer, the Prime Minister (Thorsteinn Bachmann), to mandate a stint in rehab. However, Leifur is not one to go down without a fight or, in his case, a party. He orchestrates a grand farewell feast, inviting his closest companions: Erik (Helgi Björnsson), his business partner; his astute lawyer, Christina (Elma Lísa Gunnarsdóttir); and his young lover, who also happens to be his daughter's best friend, Æsa (Maria Birta). As the evening advances, it becomes a revealing journey into Leifur's past and his complicated relationships. The partygoers, each a fascinating character in their own right, are exposed to the hidden depths of Leifur's life and the unsavory past they all share. Through Leifur's storyline, we delve into the psyche of a man battling his demons and a nation wrestling with an identity crisis. XL is a biting exploration of human frailty and societal pressures, painting a vivid picture of a man and a nation on the precipice of change, teetering between self-destruction and redemption.
