On Top is a 1982 comedy film that follows the story of a struggling band as they embark on a road trip to make it big in the music industry. Along the way, they face various challenges and hilarious situations that test their friendship and determination.

More than twenty years after the premiere of one of the most beloved Icelandic films (On Top/Med allt a hreinu 1982) a sequel appears. A band which folded twenty years ago (they were even considered old-fashioned then) sees fit to stage a comeback. Indications point to a great future until the ghosts of the past catch up with the band in the form of a single mother and a jolly roadie. We follow the band not only through the magnificent Icelandic landscape but also through two continents and a brief spell in the other world.
