The Minister

The newly elected chairman of the Independence party, Benedikt, has formed an alliance with the social democratic alliance for the upcoming elections.

As Benedikt denies to take the office of the Prime Minister, the other powers in play consider their options.

When Ri_kar_ur contacts Benedikt to ask him to help with a dispute in his parish, Benedikt’s impulsive reaction is to separate church and state.

Benedikt travels north to sign a permit for the construction of a hotel resort in his hometown, where he meets his ex-girlfriend that convinces him to prohibit the construction.

Benedikt abuses his temporary power as president to set a provisional law providing the family of a Ukrainian doctor with citizenship - a law requiring more signatures than his.

The parliament discusses the option of adopting the Euro. Benedikt however, is obsessed with reworking a medieval music transcript into a musical.

When Steinunn’s family has convinced Ríkar_ur to deprive Benedikt of legal autonomy, a delegation of EU officials arrives in Iceland to oppose the plan of adopting the Euro.h

A SAR-team finds Benedikt unconscious in the mountains. As he is moved to the hospital, the Ukrainian doctor discreetly injects him with an antipsychotic.
