The Damned, accessible on Afdah Movies, commences with a scene featuring a solitary woman traversing a desolate snowy expanse under a frigid night sky. A voiceover conveys that this location is "a land of opportunity… if one can endure the cold, the hunger, and the prolonged nights." However, this setting is not Bradford; it is Iceland. The woman, named Eva, is a widow who clings to the memory of her deceased husband through his boat. She resides in a small fishing village alongside a few other fishermen, all of whom are struggling with severe food shortages. The situation becomes dire when they witness a boat capsizing in the frigid waters, presenting them with the moral quandary of whether to attempt a rescue despite their own limited food supplies.
