Laddi leikur Jóhannes, myndlistarkennara sem upplifir dag sem ætlar engan endi að taka. Þessi ólukkudagur hefst á því að Jóhannes, af sannri riddaramennsku, stoppar fyrir ungri stúlku (Unnur Birna) í rigningu á Reykjanesbrautinni. Á vegi Jóhannesar verða ýmsir skrautlegir karakterar, bandbrjálaður öfundsjúkur kærasti, metnaðarfullur skólastjóri, óalandi unglingur og kostulegt lögregluþjónatvíeyki.

Magnús is a 45-year-old lawyer, whose routine is upset by the personal news that he is suffering from cancer. This causes Magnús to stop and think about himself, his life and his family. If his life is going to end sooner than he expected, he wants to know how much it's been worth to him. Has life been worth living? Is it worth fighting for; is it worth a struggle against death? He takes a look at his family, a group of ordinary people, who are the colourful heroes of everyday life, struggling along in a world far removed from the world of high finance, power politics and international intrigues, but yet to them their lives are lives of high adventure. Those adventures, from the sublime to the ridiculous, form the storyline of the film, told against the background of Magnús' dilemma.

Our hero is Umbi (an acronym for emissary of the bishop), sent by him to undertake an important investigation at Snæfell-glacier. In particular he is to look into the conduct and behavior of Jón Prímus, the old pastor at Snæfell. Fantastic rumors are rife: amongst other things it is said that a corpse is lodged in the glacier! Armed with his tape recorder and notebook, Umbi embarks upon his mission. He tries to question the weird locals, a weird lot, but gets evasive answers. Slowly he is dragged into a quagmire of strange happenings and his efforts to understand only make him confused. If at the beginning he is a chipper, a mere device, by the end of the story he is inextricably involved, a committed participant in the bizarre events.
