The short film Turn is a creative project made and produced by young Icelandic and Finnish creatives. The concept and plot of the film is based on Icelandic Folklore where elves are believed to live in rocks all over the country, sometimes wrecking havoc and known for trying to trick people by seducing them to join them with for instance food. They are also known for being on crossroads on certain times of the year as well as replacing individuals and making people crazy. They are generally rather vicious and jealous of humans as they are portrayed in old sayings and the Icelandic folklore generally.

The project is realised by Euphoria Borealis and Icelandic NyArk Media.
